Controversial Remarks
A Green Party councillor in Leeds, Mothin Ali, apologized for a tirade in support of Gaza and Palestine but retained his position after the incident.
Apology and Response
Ali expressed regret for any distress caused by his comments on the Gaza conflict but did not address derogatory remarks made towards a rabbi in the city.
Party's Stance
The Green Party defended Ali's right to free speech and is currently investigating the matter, refusing to suspend him despite calls to do so.
Community Response
Ali's supporters claim his "Allahu Akbar" declaration was misrepresented and may be rooted in Islamophobia, while his election was part of a larger swing against Labour in the Muslim community.
Political Commentary
Former Labour strategist Peter Mandelson criticized the Green Party for attracting various groups, including hard-leftists and Free Palestine activists, while PM Rishi Sunak addresses growing anti-Israel protests on university campuses.
