• UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) faced criticism for suggesting that reduced obesity from the Gaza war could increase life expectancy, a claim condemned by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign as “sickening.”
  • Jonathan Turner, UKLFI’s chief executive, argued that the Co-operative Group’s motion regarding the death toll of 186,000 misrepresents data and overlooks pre-war health issues, including obesity.
  • Critics, including Ben Jamal and Chris Doyle, branded the comments as atrocious and repulsive, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict and suggesting the statements promote harmful narratives.
