Parliament Hosts Pro-Palestinian Group Amid Director’s Hamas Links

[Social Media]

 

The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), a pro-Palestinian advocacy group, was recently hosted in the UK Parliament despite allegations connecting its director to Hamas. The event, chaired by Shockat Adam, the independent MP for Leicester South, sparked concerns following revelations about the group's leadership.  

 

Mr. Adam, known for his strong pro-Gaza stance, shared on social media that it had been an “honour” to preside over the PRC’s discussion on "Defending Palestinian Rights: Humanitarian and Legal Perspectives." He described the PRC as an independent group advocating for the rights of Palestinian refugees and dismissed any suggestions that the meeting was connected to terrorist activities or promoted violence.  

 

The controversy centers on Majed al-Zeer, listed as the sole director of the PRC on Companies House records. The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control recently identified Mr. Zeer as a “prominent international financial supporter of Hamas,” describing him as one of the group’s senior figures in Europe. According to the US designation, Mr. Zeer has played a pivotal role in Hamas’s European fundraising and has appeared publicly alongside other senior members of the organization to secure financial and logistical support.  

 

The PRC maintains that Majed al-Zeer has not held a position within the organization since 2019 and denies any affiliation with Hamas. Despite this assertion, Mr. Zeer’s involvement has raised questions, particularly given the timing of his US designation in October and prior accusations from German authorities. A report from Germany’s interior ministry, highlighted by *Der Spiegel*, alleged that Mr. Zeer served as Hamas’s key liaison across Europe, with significant links to the group.  

 

The PRC describes itself as a consultancy focusing on the rights of Palestinian refugees, particularly advocating for their "right to return" to Israel. However, its association with Majed al-Zeer and the ongoing allegations have fueled scrutiny of its operations and objectives.  

 

Shockat Adam, along with three other pro-Palestinian independent MPs, has formed an alliance with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to amplify their collective voice in the Commons. Adam reiterated his support for the PRC, emphasizing its humanitarian focus and rejecting any notion of a connection to terrorism. "The PRC is a non-party, independent advocacy group that highlights the plight of the millions of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East and worldwide," he said.  

 

The event’s occurrence in Parliament underscores the complexities of balancing advocacy for Palestinian rights with concerns about potential links to proscribed organizations. The debate continues as authorities and organizations examine the broader implications of these allegations.

Unless there is evidence to contradict this statement then it seems the PRC is guilty of not having updated its records at Companies House.

 

They want to give that some attention.

Personally I think they should give this attention and not have invited them, known terrorist supporters. Not surprised though that you glossed over that.

Step by step the muslims will take over England politically.  Same in Canada, Sweden, etc.  These politicians are sleepwalking into a disaster.

Rather suggests that he wasn’t an attendee at this ‘meeting’, though the article itself is not clear on that important point.

A British pro-Palestinian activist, who has appeared in parliament at events with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and other MPs has been accused by German authorities of being Hamas's key liaison in Europe.

Majed Al-Zeer, 61, is alleged to have numerous high-level contacts within the Hamas leadership. A file from the German interior ministry, first reported by magazine Der Spiegel, named Al-Zeer as the 'person responsible for Hamas' in Germany and across Europe.

The fact that the organizer has promised they would not be invited again sort of says they <deleted> this up and are not in any way trying to defend the meeting. Of course there are always those that will lap it up and gloss over the terrorist connections. Sickening.

If anyone has any evidence that Majad al Zeer was an attendee at the actual event being discussed in the OP, can they please post it.

 

The US Department of the Treasury has him living in Germany:

Who is claiming he was there? PCR certainly were. PCR with their links to Hamas. Majad al Zeer as the president of the NGO being there is irrelevant if he was or not. Stop making things up and read the OP.  Or any other media outlet reporting the same meeting.

 Not plausible. 8 of 9 Directors resigned. He remained. The failure  to have a legal director would have breached  corporate governance requirements. The PRC  directorship was intentional.

 

There is no denying that the PRC is closely linked to and a representative of Hamas.
