British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing calls to retract comments expressing delight over the return of Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah to the UK, following the emergence of his 2010 social media posts calling for violence against Zionists and police. The opposition Conservatives have demanded Starmer's remarks be withdrawn and that Abdel Fattah's citizenship be revoked and he be deported. The UK government condemned the activist's historic tweets as 'abhorrent' but affirmed his British citizenship, noting long-standing efforts for his release from Egyptian detention.
