In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

Cambridge University honored barrister Philippe Sands with a Doctorate in Law, praising his work in international law, including his role advising Mauritius against the UK over the Chagos Archipelago. Sands helped secure a 2019 ICJ opinion deeming the UK's 1965 detachment unlawful, pressuring a 2025 sovereignty deal that collapsed in April 2026 after U.S. withdrawal. Critics called the award tone-deaf, with posts decrying it as rewarding a 'Chagos sell-out' and questioning the optics alongside honors like Angela Merkel's. The university nominated Sands in February and has stayed silent on the uproar.
