Originally Published 1 year ago — by Reuters UK

A pro-Palestinian activist at Cambridge University slashed a painting of British foreign minister Arthur Balfour, citing his 1917 declaration as the reason for Palestinians losing their homeland to Israel. The declaration expressed support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, shaping British rule in the region. The activist's action reflects ongoing protests prompted by the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Palestinians demanding an apology from Britain for the declaration. The incident comes amid calls for tougher policing of protests in the UK, following alleged threatening behavior at demonstrations against Israel's actions in Gaza.
