A formal complaint about allegedly antisemitic images on the Peacemaker Trust website has been closed by the Charities Commission. But the regulator has warned the trustees of the charity – founded by Stephen Sizer – that they risk breaching their legal duties if they fail to take certain steps.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism alleged that the photographs, taken during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London at which Sizer was present, “demonstrate a hostility towards Jews”. The charity trustees argued that the events were “not ‘pro-Palestinian’ but demonstrably pro-justice, peace and reconciliation.”

While the Commission made no findings, it issued advice and guidance to the Peacemaker’s trustees. In a letter to them, the regulator said: “It appears that Dr Sizer is not required to inform and/or discuss his activities with the trustees prior to them.
