From what I understand, it seems like him saying how Israel hasn’t and cannot defeat Hamas and Hezbollah has been interpreted as being support for both groups, which are designated as terrorist organisations by the UK. That’s the grounds for the arrest.

Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming
