Rethinking Gaza Family Case, Court told Foreign Office

A Palestinian family, who is trying to achieve the UK government to help escape from Gaza, has given an important decision in its legal battle.

On Monday, the High Court said that the Foreign Secretary had “to think” whether the officers could help to get the family out.

The ruling said that the family of six was “a constant risk of injury or death”, who was living in a tent in Dare al-Balah in Central Gaza. He first applied to visit the UK, where he has a British relative in January 2024.

A government spokesman said that he was considering the decision carefully.

The case made headlines in February when he became The center of a misunderstanding line in Prime Minister’s questions (PMQs).

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper incorrectly and incorrectly noticed claims that the family had exploited a plan for Ukrainian refugees.

But his case was actually dealt with his ability, not under the rules to resume Ukrainian.

The father, known only as “bell”, was fired by Israeli forces at a support distribution point to his two young adult children.

His link to the UK is through the father’s brother, which is called “BSJ” in court. After Hamas came to power in Gaza in 2007, he legally settled in Britain and became a British citizen.

The court heard that Hamas had discriminated against the family so much, who worked for his political opponents, that it killed a relative.

After the war of October 2023, the BSJ started asking if his brother and his family could come to Britain.

The Home Office allowed the UK to come to the UK in January this year, stating that they would have to pass the first biometric check at the British Consulate in Jordan.

However, the Foreign Office has refused to ask Israel to leave the family to leave Gaza as it does only in extraordinary cases in which couple or parents and child are separated from war.

Governing against the government, Shri Justice Chamberlain said that the law did not require a government to help the family to reach Britain, the Foreign Secretary should re -look at the legally extraordinary nature of the situation.

Family lawyer Liz Bairt said: “We hope that the Foreign Office will consider the decision carefully and will work quickly to rethink its approach to the matter and the policy is more widely so widely so that our customers and others can be helped to quit Gaza in a similar situation.”

Back in February, the family case became a political line when Badenoch said during the PMQ that it was “completely wrong” for a judge that they originally apply through a plan designed for Ukrainian after giving Palestinians the right to live in Britain.

The stormer fired back that the government would shut down the flaws. “This should be a Parliament that makes rules on immigration,” he said at that time.

But publicly available appeal decision shows that the family was not allowed to come under the plan for Ukrainian refugees.

While he initially used that immigration form, by mistake, he won his case under general human rights ideas, which allows families to make an extraordinary request to all background families to help.

Lady Chief Justice, Dame Suu Kar, later stated that the way the two leaders presented the case in Parliament were “unacceptable”, looking at their duty to honor the role of judges in maintaining the law.
