A British-Palestinian doctor who 'denied the Holocaust' has been re-referred to a medical tribunal as the Health Secretary vows to overhaul 'failing' watchdog system that allowed the surgeon to keep her job.Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, was investigated by an interim orders tribunal last month over her social media posts, including a claim that the 'Royal Free Hospital in London is a Jewish supremacy cesspit'.The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) ruled that Dr Aladwan would be able to continue to practice after concluding her previous posts did not amount to 'bullying or harassment', adding it did not believe the complaints against her were 'sufficient to establish that there may be a real risk to patients'.Now, Dr Aladwan has been re-referred by the General Medical Council (GMC) for another interim orders tribunal while it continues its investigation into her.This comes after she shared a number of posts last Thursday - just hours after Jihad Al-Shamie's terrorist attack outside a synagogue in Manchester that resulted in the death of two people - including a claim it was an example of 'Jewish supremacism'.Wes Streeting has weighed into the row describing Dr Aladwan's most recent claims as 'sickening comments' that have 'no place in the NHS and action needs to be taken to root the evil of racism out' while vowing to 'kick racists out of the NHS'.He has also blasted medical regulatory system claiming that it has 'completely failed to protect patients and NHS staff'.Mr Streeting said: 'The NHS is a universal health system that everyone should feel safe approaching if they need care, regardless of race, creed or religion. Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, was investigated by an interim orders tribunal last month over her social media posts, including a claim that the 'Royal Free Hospital in London is a Jewish supremacy cesspit' Health Secretary Wes Streeting has weighed into the row describing Dr Aladwan's most recent claims as 'sickening comments' that have 'no place in the NHS and action needs to be taken to root the evil of racism out''The current medical regulatory system is completely failing to protect patients and NHS staff, so I am looking at how we can rapidly overhaul the current regime to make it easier to kick racists out of the NHS.'In response to Mr Streeting, Dr Aladwan wrote on X: 'So you're telling me that the Chief Rabbi of Britain can spend two years supporting, praising and praying for the terrorist, child-killing, hospital-bombing, rapist IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) but I can't be a British doctor and support the human, legal right of Palestinians to armed resistance?'Streeting wants to centre Jews and falsely claim that Jewish patients are somehow unsafe.'No jew has been harmed by anti-genocide, pro-Palestine healthcare workers.'We are not 'Israeli' or Jewish supremacists. We see everyone as EQUAL...'Free Palestine and Britain from Jewish supremacy.'The controversy surrounding Dr Aladwan started earlier this year after several social media posts from the NHS doctor were uncovered. Dr Aladwan's response to Wes Streeting's comments about her on XThis included a claim that 'British Jewish children are taught that they are superior to non-Jews, that they have the right to colonise Palestine, and are groomed through birthright trips to become colonisers'. In other social media posts, believed to be written by Dr Aladwan, she described anti-Semitism and the Holocaust as 'concepts' used by Jewish people to 'promote a narrative of victimhood'.Following her comments, the General Medical Council, which regulates the conduct of NHS doctors, referred her to the MPTS.The GMC had asked the had asked the tribunal to impose an 12-month interim order of conditions on Dr Aladwan while an investigation is carried out.This would have placed restrictions on a doctor's practice, including that they are supervised or requiring them to undergo further training.Counsel for the GMC, Isobel Thomas described these conditions as necessary due the 'nature and seriousness of the allegations'.She told the hearing that Dr Aladwan's posts 'appear to demonise Israelis and Jews' and described the Holocaust 'as a fabricated victim narrative'.The tribunal ruled there was not sufficient evidence to show that Dr Aladwan posed a real risk to patients. Dr Aladwan sparked outrage for her many controversial post on social media Dr Aladwan's lawyer previously told the MPTS she is exercising her freedom of speech to oppose crimes by Israel, including those identified by the United Nations.He told the regulator she is a Palestinian doctor with an impeccable clinical record and is, herself, a direct victim of genocide and of dispossession.Following last week's terrorist attack, Dr Aladwan sparked fresh controversy after she shared a news article about members of the public being urged to stay away from A&E departments in Greater Manchester unless in need of urgent medical treatment.In a response, Dr Aladwan claimed that the decision 'effectively places a specific community’s security above the healthcare of the entire population, creating a dangerous and discriminatory precedent'.She did later clarify that the lockdown only applied to A&E services.Dr Aladwan also shared a post from a Palestinian journalist named Abubaker Abed, which read: 'Apparently, the lives of 4 Jews in Manchester are more significant than 53 lives of Muslims in Gaza.'This is racism and Jewish supremacism. This is Western civilisation.'The interim orders tribunal hearing will take place on October 23. Dr Aladwan shared a post from a Palestinian journalist named Abubaker Abed In response to Wes Streeting's comments, Jahad Rahman - partner at Rahman Lowe Solicitors, - which is representing Dr Aladwan, said: 'We are concerned by the recent public comments made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.'As set out in our recent open letter to Mr Streeting, politicians must refrain from making statements that could be perceived as seeking to influence or direct the outcome of judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings.'The independence of the judiciary, including independent tribunals such as the MPTS, is a fundamental principle of our legal system.'When senior Government figures make comments on the merits or outcomes of ongoing cases, there is a real risk of undermining public confidence in the impartiality of those proceedings, the administration of justice and the rule of law.'We are also deeply concerned by the decision to rehear the case and any external or political pressure on the tribunal would be wholly unreasonable, irrational, and likely to give rise to grounds for an application for judicial review.'Dr Aladwan continues to participate fully in the tribunal process and remains confident that the MPTS will assess the evidence fairly and independently, free from any external or political pressure.'The interim orders tribunal hearing will take place on October 23.
