Metropolitan Police Ends Relationship with Advisor Attiq Malik after Anti-Israel Chant Emerges in Video

Attiq Malik's advisory role with Metropolitan Police under investigation following revelation of his participation in the controversial chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in 2021, raising concerns about anti-Semitism within the force.

• Attiq Malik, a solicitor and chairman of the London Muslim Communities Forum, led chants of 'from the river to the sea' in 2021, which have been described as 'deeply offensive' and hinting at the destruction of Israel.
• Mr. Malik had access to the police operations room during protests last month, shaping police policy at a strategic level as part of his advisory role.
• The Metropolitan Police has cut ties with Malik due to his expression of views perceived as anti-Semitic and against the force's values.
• Malik’s chant is viewed by some, including the British government and Jewish groups, as an 'expression of a violent desire' to see Israel erased from the world.
• Despite severing ties with Malik, the Metropolitan Police plans to maintain its relationship with the London Muslim Communities Forum, citing its important role in providing insights, feedback and reaching into communities across London.
