UK: Green Party investigates councillor who shouted 'Allahu Akbar!'

The Green Party is investigating a councillor who shouted “Allahu Akbar!” after being elected and said Palestine had the right to “fight back” on the day of the Oct 7 terror attacks.

Mothin Ali won the Gipton and Harehills ward in Leeds with more than 3,000 votes at Thursday’s local elections and said his victory was a “win for the people of Gaza”.

The 42-year-old father of three, who works as an accountant and runs a gardening blog, has previously described a Jewish chaplain forced into hiding by threats from protesters as a “creep” and a “kind of animal”.

During his victory speech on Friday, Mr Ali told activists: “We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!”
