Britain
UK to help dozens of Gazan students enroll at British universities
2025-08-27
[IsraelTimes] Accepted students must complete biometric checks in third countries before taking up their places, but their departure depends on Israel’s approval

Britannia’s Home Office has agreed to adjust immigration rules to allow several dozen students from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
to take up fully funded British university places next month, the UK government confirmed Tuesday.
Several dozen out of a Gazan population claimed to be something like 2.3 millon (actually probably closer to 1.5, but whatever) — golly, such generosity!
It is understood that the students will be permitted to undergo biometric checks in a third country before travelling on to the UK to take up their places.
In a third country? What is that intended to accomplish?
However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
the Israeli government would still need to agree to each student leaving Gaza, as diplomatic relations worsen with London.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced last month that the UK will recognize a Paleostinian state if Israel does not take a series of steps, including agreeing to a ceasefire-hostage release deal in its war with the Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
terror group.
It won’t accomplish anything except to feed the British ego.
Of the approximately 40 students set to be eligible for support heading to the UK, nine are due to pursue scholarships under the Chevening scheme, according to the BBC.

A predominantly UK government-funded initiative, it enables "outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world" to pursue a one-year master’s degree in the UK, according to the British Foreign Office.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has also approved plans to help around 30 others who have won fully funded scholarships through other private schemes to reach the UK, the BBC reported.

A Home Office source told British media the arrangements are "complex and challenging," but Cooper "wants no stone unturned" so the prospective Gaza students can take up their places in the coming weeks.

The ongoing war in Gaza was sparked when Hamas-led holy warriors rampaged through southern communities on October 7, 2023, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages.

Israel has been heavily involved in who leaves Gaza since June 2024, when it started using the Kerem Shalom Crossing to evacuate Paleostinians via its own territory, following the closure of the Rafah Border Crossing into Egypt a month earlier.

Israel says most who leave do so to receive treatment or accompany someone sick or maimed, without specifying an exact breakdown.
