● Jordanian-Palestinian writer Mudar Zahran was the guest speaker at an event organised by StandWithUs UK, Leeds University JSoc, and Leeds University Jewish Chaplaincy.
Mr Zahran shared his experience of living in Jordan. He fled to the UK as a political refugee.
He discussed how delegitimising Israel and keeping the Palestinian problem unresolved benefits Arab regimes.
Mr Zahran advised his audience to challenge a "biased media" and not to shy away from defending Israel and what it stands for. He also highlighted the evolving Pakistani threat, and predicted that a fundamentalist Pakistan would become a major source of concern to the West.
