UK urged to act on colonial-era war crimes case after recognising Palestinian state

Palestinians call on UK to address colonial-era war crimes after recognizing Palestinian state this week. A legal petition seeks apology and reparations for abuses during the British Mandate in historical Palestine (1917-1948). The petition documents alleged UK forces' war crimes, including murder, torture, and collective punishment, aiming to shed light on past injustices. The UK's recognition of a Palestinian state is welcomed, but calls persist for accountability and acknowledgment of historical wrongs.
