Palestinian Family's Immigration to the UK
A Palestinian family from Gaza used a program for Ukrainian refugees to immigrate to the UK after their home was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. The family's application was initially rejected but ultimately approved by an upper tribunal judge citing the European Convention on Human Rights. The judge's decision was criticized by British politicians who argued that the UK cannot absorb all potential refugees from Gaza.
