UK Appoints Richard Hermer, Critic of Israel, as Attorney General, Replacing Emily Thornberry
Jul 8, 2024, 07:57 AM
The UK has appointed Richard Hermer as the new Attorney General, a decision that has stirred significant reactions. Hermer, an experienced lawyer known for his criticism of Israeli rights violations, has previously stated that a Conservative anti-boycott bill would stifle free speech. This appointment by Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been seen as a snub to Emily Thornberry, who had been fulfilling the equivalent role for Labour while in opposition. Thornberry expressed her surprise and disappointment at not being included in the cabinet. Hermer's appointment has also been criticized by some as indicative of the new Labour government's stance towards Israel.
