was warned the bizarre move risks “appeasing terrorist organisations”;;.
The -led local authority voted last week in favour of partnering with Nablus in .
councillor Michael Maurice said he is “very concerned”;; as the city’s governing council has 15 members who are part of Hamas, including the mayor.
The idea was tabled by Labour councillor Ihtesham Afzal, who said he wanted Palestinian kids to “dream of a brighter future”;;.
However one Jewish man who lives in the North West London borough told The Sun: “This must be the in Britain.
“It is so odd. I can’t believe they would think this would be OK.
“I think it shows they have a lack of priorities.
“They seem more concerned about what is going on over there when they should be more concerned about what is going on closer to home.”;;
Council leader Mo Butt said 2,000 people signed a report on the twinning so it “meets the threshold”;; to be taken forward.
