Mother of London-based Palestinian refused UK visa ahead of family wedding

LONDON: The UK Home Office has stopped the mother of a London-based Palestinian Jerusalemite from visiting him. Karim Abdallah, who has lived in London since 2019, learned that his mother Therese Abdallah was not deemed a “genuine visitor” and had been denied a visa. His father Ghassan Abdallah, however, had his visa application approved. The couple, a retired teacher and a psychologist, were planning to travel to visit their son and go with him to a family wedding in Ireland.
