UK barrister who called for ‘final solution’ for Israel gets four-month suspension, sparking outcry

A British criminal defense barrister has been suspended for four months for calling for a "final solution" and "the gas chamber" for Zionists.Forz Khan, who has been a registered barrister since July 1988, was suspended by a three-person disciplinary tribunal on November 10, on account of "professional misconduct."According to the publicly available disciplinary findings, Khan posted on LinkedIn three times in March 2025: "There is only one solution to the evil that is zionism [sic]. Unless there is a complete global cleansing this pernicious cult will continue to spread its hate, genocide and evil."In the same month, he also wrote: "There is only 1 final solution to that problem that is Israel" and "The world needs to eradicate Zios globally."Khan then posted twice in April 2025: "Scum like this should be in a gas chamber" and again "There is only 1 final solution to the problem of israel [sic]."The tribunal said the statements were "antisemitic and/or seriously offensive" and thus suspended Khan from practice for four months. Khan was also ordered to pay £2,880 in costs.MP Nick Timothy slams four-month suspensionSocial media users lamented the brevity of the sentence, noting that some individuals have received jail time for smaller offenses."By 'Zios' he meant Jews, of course, and he was suspended for just four months,"
