NHS doctor faces backlash for anti-Semitic online comments
Aqeel Jamil, a gastroenterologist at Queen Alexandra Hospital, faces backlash for anti-Semitic comments made online. He accused Israel of complicity in the October 7 massacre and used racist language against Foreign Secretary David Lammy. Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust has launched an investigation into Jamil's remarks after receiving a dossier of his comments. The General Medical Council is also reviewing the situation urgently. Jamil has since deleted his social media accounts and expressed regret for his comments about Lammy. The Health Secretary condemned the posts, emphasizing that staff could face consequences for such behavior.
