Overview

• After a September 25 decision found no immediate patient risk, the GMC has sought a fresh Interim Orders Tribunal to consider restrictions on Dr Rahmeh Aladwan’s practice.
• Tribunal papers and complainants cite social media posts and an alleged throat‑slitting gesture at a 2024 event, with allegations including justification of terrorism, denial of sexual violence, and antisemitic conspiracy narratives.
• Until any interim order is imposed, Dr Aladwan remains licensed to practise as the GMC’s fitness‑to‑practise investigation continues.
• Health Secretary Wes Streeting has condemned the posts and says he will pursue an overhaul of how regulators handle antisemitism in the NHS, with reports of work on faster pre‑hearing suspensions not yet reflected in formal rule changes.
• Dr Aladwan and her lawyers argue her posts are protected political speech and warn that ministerial interventions risk undermining the independence of the GMC and tribunal proceedings.
