Rishi Sunak has dismissed Suella Braverman from the position of UK Home Secretary, citing her role in escalating tensions during Armistice Day protests. James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, has been appointed as her immediate replacement. 

In further detail, the former British prime minister David Cameron is set to assume the role of Foreign Secretary, as reported by The Telegraph, marking a return to active political involvement after his resignation in 2016 following the unsuccessful campaign to keep Britain in the European Union.

Suella Braverman has been sacked

Earlier, a government source said, as quoted by The Guardian, that Sunak “asked Suella Braverman to leave government and she has accepted."

Braverman's removal is serving as the catalyst for a broader reshuffling, with expectations that Thérèse Coffey, the Environment Secretary, and Steve Barclay, the Health Secretary, may also depart.

Although there are indications that Jeremy Hunt might be appointed as Chancellor, it is considered less immediate given this month's autumn statement.

Additionally, two junior ministers, Schools Minister Nick Gibb and Health Minister Neil O'Brien, have declared their resignations. Following her dismissal, Braverman expressed that serving as Home Secretary had been the greatest privilege of her life and hinted at providing further comments in the future.

The removal of Braverman is anticipated to generate displeasure among Conservative MPs aligned with the right wing of the party.

Suella Braverman was dismissed as home secretary due to an unauthorized article in The Times where she claimed there was a perception of police bias favoring pro-Palestinian demonstrators over right-wing extremists. The article also compared Gaza ceasefire demonstrations to marches in Northern Ireland. Downing Street sought edits, but not all were made.

Braverman was criticized by police and Labour for fueling tensions leading to far-right clashes near the Cenotaph. She demanded further action against pro-Palestine marches in her first public statement since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

In additional controversies, she faced accusations of racism for specifically implicating British Pakistani men in the majority of grooming gang cases. 

It is worth noting that pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched peacefully through central London on Saturday disrupted by clashes between right-wing counter-protesters and the police as the former sought to disturb the peaceful protests.

The day unfolded against a backdrop of heightened tensions, fueled by Home Secretary Suella Braverman's characterization of pro-Palestinian demonstrations as "hate marches" and her calling for the event to be barred altogether after she called on the police to be tougher on such protests.

Though Braverman cited respect for Armistice Day, which marks the end of World War I, as the reason for wanting the Saturday demonstrations to be canceled, her anti-Palestinian sentiment is suspected to have been the actual reason behind her desire for the ban.

The far-right has been emboldened by the Home Secretary. She has spent her week fanning the flames of division. They are now attacking the Police on Armistice Day.

The Home Secretary's position is untenable. She must resign. https://t.co/okPyA0MlpN

The clashes between police and counter-protesters carrying Union flags and the flag of England confirmed concerns that Braverman's comments would attract right-wing elements seeking confrontation with pro-Palestinian marchers.

In short, the UK's former Home Secretary has built deep ties within Zionist circles pushing her to adopt Zionist rhetoric, as she calls on London police to deal firmly with pro-Palestine protests.

Western officials such as Braverman have worked to demonize individuals and groups who call for the liberation of Palestine from Zionist occupation, saying that such justified demands are "anti-semitic".

Officials and commentators in the United Kingdom have criticized Braverman's remarks as "unusual", "unprecedented", and even "unhinged" particularly because of her direct criticism of police officers. 

Braverman's boasting of her husband's Zionist ideology further sheds light on her biases, which have seen her push London police to oppress pro-Palestine voices, as well as her targeted criticism of the UK's security forces.

Her dangerous remarks come at a time where "Israel" has killed over 11,000 Palestinians, including at least 4,500 children, a clear act of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
