Palestinians Seek UK Apology for Colonial Abuses

Palestinians are urging the UK to respond to a 400-page legal petition seeking an apology and reparations for colonial-era war crimes during the British Mandate. The petition, representing 13 families alleging violence and repression, highlights the need to address Britain's historical conduct beyond its recent recognition of a Palestinian state. Alleged abuses include murder, torture, and collective punishment. The UK government has not confirmed awareness of the petition, though a senior official is reportedly looking into it.
