The outcome of Hasan's case calls into question the ethics of nearly all of the UK's foreign policy interactions with Israel. The UK has long been a strong ally of Israel and has defended the country as being the Middle East's only democracy. By validating Hasan's fears of persecution in Israel, the Home Office has contradicted previous arguments that Israel doesn't institute an apartheid system.
Palestinian Israelis are actively engrained in every aspect of life in Israel and enjoy the same rights as their Jewish peers. While it's true that citizens of the Palestinian Authority, who were previously allowed work permits to be gainfully employed in Israel, are now barred from working in the country, this isn't apartheid but simply a logical security and foreign policy decision following the heinous Oct. 7 terror attack.
