"UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen a chief government legal adviser who previously assessed that a Conservative bill targeting the Palestinian-led boycott movement against Israel would hinder free speech"
Attorney General Richard Hermer said he "actively supports a range of Jewish and Israeli organisations" but he also believes that "the continued Israeli occupation of the West Bank is unlawful".
@NotImpressed@palestine Yes, Starmer surprised me with this appointment. Richard Hermer is a Jewish human rights lawyer and believes in the importance of international law. He’s a perfect person for the job. There’s a glimmer of hope here.
