UK’s Starmer under fire over Egyptian activist’s ‘abhorrent’ posts London (AFP) –

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer was under pressure Sunday after “abhorrent” social media posts by a British-Egyptian activist came to light days after he welcomed his return to the country.

But after old social posts emerged of him calling for violence against Zionists and the police, the opposition conservatives called Sunday for him to be stripped of his citizenship and deported to Egypt.

Posting on X Friday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had said he was “delighted” Abdel Fattah had been reunited with his loved ones in the UK, after Egypt lifted its travel ban.

Now Starmer is facing calls to retract those comments over the content of the activist’s posts, which date back to 2010.
