An NHS doctor charged with posting on social media in support of Hamas wore a ‘celebratory’ number 7 necklace in court today as she faces a trial next year.

Dr Rahmeh Aladwan is charged with four counts of inviting support for the proscribed group by posting comments online between July 23 and December 31 last year.

The 31-year-old British Palestinian is also accused of using threatening or abusive insulting words at a protest on July 21 in Westminster, and stirring up racial hatred in written material on November 19.

It is alleged she wrote: ‘I don’t condemn Hamas. I don’t condemn October 7,’ and ‘I condemn the existence of Israel’ in a post on July 23.

On December 31, it is alleged she wrote: ‘Free the world from Jewish supremacy.’

On the second anniversary of the October 7 attack, she allegedly posted an image of a bulldozer along with text reading: ‘Glory to the Palestinian resistance.’

Posts made included calling the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis a ‘genocidal murderer,’ it is claimed.

The trainee surgeon in trauma and orthopaedics also allegedly said Health Secretary Wes Streeting taking money from the Israeli lobby was a sign of ‘Jewish supremacy’.

Aladwan was arrested at her home in Pilning, south Gloucestershire, and charged with the six offences on March 26.

She appeared at the Old Bailey today and spoke only to confirm her identity.

Aladwan turned up to the hearing sporting the gold necklace, having previously described it as ‘celebratory jewellery’ in photos she has shared online.

She appeared in the dock wearing a grey jacket, black trousers and white shirt.

The defendant was granted continued bail. She must not own more than one electronic device and must not operate more than one social media account.
