Conclusions
Conclusion and relief
For the reasons I have given, the challenged decision of 6 June 2025 is flawed and cannot stand. It will have to be reconsidered. This does not mean that the Foreign Secretary is obliged to decide in the claimants’ favour, just that he must think again.
Because the family’s position and that of the Israeli Government may have changed since the decision was taken, it would be appropriate for the claimants to be entitled to a short period in which to file further representations. It may also be appropriate to set a timetable for the decision to be reconsidered.
Subject to what I have said, I shall invite submissions as to the appropriate form of relief.
