Overview

• On Thursday, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled that Dr Rahmeh Aladwan can continue practicing while the General Medical Council investigates her conduct.
• The GMC had sought a 12‑month interim order imposing conditions on her work, arguing that her posts appeared to demonise Israelis and Jews and could leave Jewish patients feeling unsafe.
• The panel found the social‑media activity did not amount to bullying or harassment and concluded public confidence would not be undermined at this interim stage, referencing ECHR protections.
• Posts attributed to Aladwan include denying the Holocaust, refusing to condemn the October 7 attacks, referring to Hamas gunmen as “martyrs,” and using language about “Jewish supremacy.”
• Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned the decision and said he has no confidence in the medical regulator, while the Campaign Against Antisemitism called the ruling “inexplicable and disgraceful” and is consulting legal advisers.
