Overview

• The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service on Thursday allowed Dr Rahmeh Aladwan to continue working while the General Medical Council investigates her online activity.
• The GMC had requested a 12‑month interim order with practice conditions, but the panel declined after concluding her posts did not constitute bullying or harassment or erode public confidence.
• Posts attributed to the trauma and orthopaedics doctor include denying or minimising the Holocaust, refusing to condemn the October 7 attacks, and calling two Jerusalem gunmen “martyrs.”
• Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned the ruling and said he has no confidence in the regulatory system, arguing language about “Jewish supremacy” has no place in the NHS.
• The Campaign Against Antisemitism called the decision “inexplicable and disgraceful” and said it is considering legal options as the GMC inquiry proceeds.
