The Palestinian Mission in the UK has voiced profound worry and frustration regarding the escalating attacks on its London premises. They accuse the British government of consistently ignoring their pleas for diplomatic protection.

Their statement, posted on X, formerly Twitter, showed that the embassy was subjected to another assault on Saturday night, marking the fourth incident of its kind in the past few weeks.

“All attacks and threats have been reported to the British police and the president of the State of Palestine has requested immediate diplomatic police protection to the Mission in London from the UK prime minister, holding the UK government responsible for the safety of the Palestinian ambassador, staff and families.

“The lack of any action by the British government, ignoring Palestinian rights and concerns, is inexplicable and unacceptable.”
