Some don't know 'full nature' of Palestine Action, says Cooper
Yvette Cooper raises concerns over Palestine Action as more than 500 people were arrested during a protest. The banning of Palestine Action under terror laws led to criticism, with Amnesty International calling the arrests "deeply concerning". The UK government defends the decision, citing violent attacks and criminal damage, while facing criticism for the proportionality of the response to the protest. Prime Minister Starmer warns Israel of recognizing a Palestinian state in September unless substantive steps are taken to address the situation in Gaza.
