A U.S.-sanctioned man allegedly tied to Hamas was invited to speak in Parliament just weeks after being flagged by the Treasury — sparking outrage and debate. Saif Abukishek, linked to the Gaza aid flotilla blocked by Israel, appeared at a Labour-hosted event alongside MPs including Jeremy Corbyn. Despite assurances from Duncan-Jordan’s office that attendees were vetted, counter-terrorism experts called the move “jaw-dropping naivety.” Abukishek denies ties to terrorism, calling sanctions political, while the flotilla group says he was detained and assaulted by Israeli forces. The incident has ignited fierce debate over parliamentary due diligence and the politicization of foreign sanctions amid deepening tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
