From our Managing Director: The Recklessness of Admitting Gazan Refugees
The proposition to bring Gazan refugees into the UK is not only misguided but perilous.

The National Jewish Assembly (NJA) vehemently condemns the recent establishment of pro-Palestine squatter encampments at various UK university campuses.
