Doctors exhibiting antisemitic behavior will have their licenses revoked BEFORE a tribunal, under new initiatives aimed at addressing extremism within the NHS.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting is “urgently” formulating measures to prevent racist and radical Islamist medical professionals from treating patients while a General Medical Council investigation is underway.

A source from the Health Department informed The Sun that Mr. Streeting is “furious with the slow pace at which the system operates and the failure to acknowledge blatant antisemitism.”
This comes after public outrage when a junior doctor avoided suspension despite making a “slit your throat” gesture towards Jewish protesters.
The GMC ignited fury after determining that Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan, who has consistently posted antisemitic comments regarding Britain’s Jewish community, was fit to continue practicing.
Among her offensive remarks, Aladwan shared a post suggesting that media attention on the Manchester Synagogue terror attack was indicative of “Jewish supremacism.”
Her case has now been sent back to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, with a new hearing scheduled for October 23.
A GMC spokesperson stated that they had “referred Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan to an Interim Orders Tribunal.”
They added: “The GMC will make a referral when it believes an interim order is needed to safeguard the public or maintain public trust in doctors during an investigation.”
This situation has raised significant concerns about patient safety within the NHS, especially for Jewish patients potentially endangered by radicalized medical practitioners.
To swiftly protect patients, the Health Secretary aims to amend the law so that alleged extremists cannot practice while awaiting a professional tribunal.
A Health Department source remarked: “It is absurd that racist medical professionals can continue to operate without consequences until a tribunal convenes.
“What message does this send to Jewish patients regarding the safety of NHS care?
“Wes instructed the department last week to urgently develop plans to suspend doctors' licenses while awaiting tribunal outcomes.
“He has a zero-tolerance stance towards racism—and the NHS must adopt a similar policy.”
When asked about her comments regarding “exceptionalism for Jewish people,” Aladwan told The Times: “We oppose supremacy, privilege, and exceptionalism for anyone, including the Jewish community.”
She explained that she shared a post by a Palestinian journalist arguing that the focus on the synagogue attack was proof of “Jewish supremacism,” as “the number of Palestinians killed daily by ‘Israel’ averages 100,” while the “media and journalists ignore the victims.”
