The UK government is set to establish new refugee resettlement routes specifically for Afghan women and girls and for Palestinians, in an announcement linked to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The move would create dedicated pathways for two groups seen as facing acute risks, and it is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over Britain's asylum and migration policy.
Why now: The announcement marks a significant policy shift on refugee admissions that touches on sensitive debates over immigration and the UK's commitments to Afghanistan and Gaza.
