British Jewish leaders ask the UK government to block entry for Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah, citing her past comments about the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The outlets report that the group urges the UK to deny her entry while she is scheduled to promote a new novel.
The reports say Abdel-Fattah previously described the attack as “exhilarating,” a characterization that drew criticism. The accounts frame the request as part of broader pressure to respond to contentious public statements related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. While all sources describe the same central demand and the author’s cited remarks, they focus primarily on the call to exclude her from visiting and do not provide differing details beyond that shared summary.
