The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) said Dr Aladwan’s posts “may impact on patient confidence” in both her and the profession, while patients could be “discouraged” from seeking treatment from her.

Dr Aladwan, who is British Palestinian, denies making racist or hate speech.

Her lawyer told the tribunal there was “no evidence” that her activities have had “any impact on patient safety or her ability to fulfil her duties as a doctor”.

Dr Aladwan’s suspension will take effect from today and will be reviewed within six months.

In the tribunal’s ruling, it said it “notes that there is no information to suggest that any patient complaints have been raised or that any patients have come to harm”.

Responding to the tribunal’s ruling on X, Dr Aladwan said: “Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The ‘Israeli’ and Jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise medicine in Britain.”

    It’s misleading to characterise accusations as evidence.

    What makes you think I’m characterising them as evidence?

    cupcakezealot implied that it only takes accusations of calling out Israel for genocide, for the UK to cry antisemitism.

    I’m saying these accusations are a lot more serious than that.
