Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 27 January 2026UIN 107806

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with her US counterpart on the US sanctions applied to Zaher Birawi and the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad; and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of designating Zaher Birawi under the Counter-Terrorism (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

HMT is unable to provide details on any OFSI actions or investigations that may or may not be ongoing. HMT regularly reviews targets for designation to explore whether they meet our criteria for designation under the Counter-Terrorism (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
