Kamel Hawwash, a Green Party councillor who won a council seat in Birmingham in last month’s local elections, is appointed to a cabinet role in the city’s new coalition administration. He becomes Cabinet Member for Children and Families, according to reporting from the outlets provided.

The articles also reference prior comments Hawwash made about the 7 October attacks. However, the sources supplied focus mainly on his appointment and role within the council rather than providing details of the coalition structure or policy changes connected to the new position.

As Cabinet Member for Children and Families, Hawwash is set to oversee the portfolio covering children’s services and related responsibilities within the Birmingham council framework under the incoming coalition. The reporting confirms the post assignment and identifies Hawwash as part of the administration formed after the recent local election results and subsequent coalition negotiations.
