TOP News Brief
Dozens of British parliamentarians have urged Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood not to block the evacuation of Palestinians from Gaza, Middle East Eye reported. The MPs' intervention comes as Palestinians who have applied to join immediate family members in Britain have been prevented from doing so under current government policy.
The pressure reflects mounting concern among lawmakers over Britain's approach to Gaza evacuations. Family reunification remains a contentious issue within the UK's immigration framework, with eligibility criteria and processing delays creating barriers for Palestinians seeking to reach relatives already settled in the country. The Home Office has not yet publicly responded to the MPs' appeal.
