Head of Met Police should resign, says antisemitism campaigner called 'openly Jewish' by officer
Saturday, 20 April 2024 An antisemitism campaigner has called for the head of the Metropolitan Police to resign after he was called "openly Jewish" by an officer and threatened with arrest at a pro-Palestinian march in London.
Claire Coutinho says the Metropolitan Police “made a serious misstep” after an antisemitism campaigner was called "openly Jewish" by an officer and threatened with arrest. Report by Ajagbef. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
The Metropolitan Police cannot dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance, the High Court has ruled.
The decision comes after Sergeant Lino Di Maria successfully mounted a legal challenge, supported by the Metropolitan Police Federation, after having his vetting removed over sexual assault allegations, which he denies. Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the ruling on the law "has left policing in a hopeless position".
“We now have no mechanism to rid the Met of officers who were not fit to hold vetting – those who cannot be trusted to work with women, or those who cannot be trusted to enter the homes of vulnerable people.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has issued a stark warning against U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, calling it a "criminal" scheme to empty Palestine. In a fiery speech, he threatened military intervention, including missile and drone strikes, if the plan is enforced by force. Al-Houthi provocatively suggested that if the U.S. is concerned about Jewish welfare, it should relocate them to America instead. The Houthis have already launched over 40 missiles and 320 drones at Israel and vow to resume attacks if Trump’s plan moves forward.

The rise in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate crime is "really appalling but not a surprise", says the director of policy at the Community Security Trust, a charity whose mission it is to provide safety to the UK Jewish community. Dr Dave Rich adds that the "enormous" increase has been apparent on social media and offline, exacerbated by the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th 2023, the subsequent, ongoing war in the Middle East and the anti-immigration riots that occurred in the UK over the summer.

Hamas Blasts Israel. Hamas has condemned Israel for delaying the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners, accusing it of violating the ceasefire agreement. The militant group claimed Israel was using "false pretexts" to avoid fulfilling its commitments, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited "humiliating ceremonies" during the handover of Israeli hostages as the reason for postponement. The dispute has escalated tensions, raising concerns over the ceasefire's stability.

Hamas Betrayed? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indefinitely postponed the release of Palestinian detainees, citing Hamas’ “humiliating” hostage handover ceremonies as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The decision comes after footage surfaced of released Israeli captives appearing to praise their captors and question the ongoing conflict. In the viral video, two Israeli hostages—who were not scheduled for release—made desperate pleas for Netanyahu to secure their freedom, warning that military pressure would lead to their deaths. With 63 Israelis still held in Gaza and 602 Palestinian prisoners awaiting release, tensions have escalated, throwing the fragile ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal into uncertainty.
