UK must ask Israel to help Palestinian family leave Gaza, High Court rules

The UK High Court has ruled that the UK government must formally request Israel to allow a Palestinian family to leave Gaza. This family had previously been granted permission to enter the UK to visit a British citizen relative. However, they remained trapped in Gaza because the Foreign Office had refused to ask Israel for their safe passage through Jordan. The family's solicitor expressed hope that the Foreign Office would now act justly and humanely by promptly assisting the family based on the court's judgment.
