26:19Now PlayingMothin Ali, a 42-year-old accountant and gardening blogger, sparked outrage after celebrating his election as a Green Party councillor in Leeds by shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and declaring his win was "for the people of Gaza." The Muslim candidate, who had previously called Israel a "settler, colonial, occupier," concluded his speech in front of a Palestinian flag stating "We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!" His provocative remarks drew condemnation from the local Jewish community, with one leader writing to the Green Party that Ali's "behavior at his count" required suspension, as "your silence has now gone past the time." While Ali later apologized, saying "Allahu Akbar" is "an expression of gratitude and celebration" and that accusing him of supporting violence "suggests Islamophobia," the controversy highlighted tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in British politics.
