Birmingham backs boycott
Birmingham City Council, in Britain’s second-largest city, voted by 54 to 19 in favour of a motion calling for a review of its financial ties with Israel ahead of potential divestment. The review would cover the pension fund, financial dealings and procurement linked to credible evidence of crimes against humanity. The motion described Israel’s military operations in Gaza as “genocide”, citing a UN report issued in 2025, and called for public funds to be used in accordance with human rights, responsibility and transparency. The decision drew criticism from the city’s Jewish Leadership Council and Conservative Party officials, who warned against using taxpayers’ money for a political campaign against Israel.
