Eylon Levy is a former Israeli government spokesman who co-founded the Israeli Citizen Spokespersons' Office after his wartime briefings went viral.
The British Embassy in Israel warned the government that “this is not possible, but the minister said we are going to do it anyway”. https://t.co/1i93u2KT85
Israel manufactures defense tech in Britain. If Israel concludes that Labour’s hostility is total and irreversible, Israeli companies may have to move their supply chains. That would cost British jobs. What Palestine Action couldn’t achieve, Labour might be about to pull off.
Britain’s national security must not take a backseat to Palestinians’ social security. Labour is putting Gaza First. https://t.co/4402k2cmtk
Netanyahu catastrophically misjudged the threat from Hamas before the October 7 Massacre. He believed it could be contained, deterred, and bought off—and so did the UAE, according to Haaretz's bombshell report. The public is demanding full accountability. https://t.co/O2VsuQYtE4
“There was a terrible massacre here during your shift” Look at how @limor_sonhrmelh rolls her eyes—what contempt for the Israeli public!
Translated from HebrewWhat nonsense, and disappointing nonsense from someone who was an excellent finance minister. The solution to traffic jams is not free public transportation, because what stops citizens from leaving their cars at home is not the cost of public transportation but its reliability, frequency, and convenience. Invest in functioning public transportation, impose congestion charges on those who nevertheless insist on using a car in a densely populated metropolitan area, and that’s it.
Translated from HebrewIsrael is being very clear to stress that this crisis is with Labour, which has been relentlessly hostile for its own political reasons. It’s stressing its friendship with the British people and desire for better days. https://t.co/Wobsgjjz7Q
Israel expressing scathing disappointment with Britain under its disastrous Labour government.
Meet @cenkuygur, the sweatiest angry man in the world. A report by @ZeevSch, in the series “The Antisemite of the Day” “From Here to There,” @Ch16_IL, Sun–Thu, 19:00
Translated from HebrewGood riddance. No nation should have a diplomatic mission to the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem. Go to Ramallah.
Israel and Ukraine learned the hard way never to trust international guarantees, much less vague promises of solidarity. They learned there is no substitute for independent hard power in the face of acute threats to their sovereignty.
Note to supporters of the settlement enterprise, following a round of interviews in the foreign media about the British sanctions: In the eyes of the world, construction in the settlements and settler terrorism are one and the same. Everyone talks about construction on Smotrich’s farms in the same breath as Ma’ale Adumim, in the same breath as East Jerusalem, and all of it in the same breath as the deranged fanatical rioters who threaten to drown us all in blood. You must condemn and expel this disgusting phenomenon from your midst. Not only because it is terrible and horrifying in itself, but also because it endangers the very idea that Judea and Samaria must remain under Israeli security control.
Translated from HebrewIn Britain, Australia, and Canada, center-right parties still stand with Israel. If the last elections had produced Sunak, Poilievre and Dutton, the Anglosphere would be firmly pro-Israel. We just have to get past these disastrous leftwing governments.
While we’re on the subject of the “two-state solution,” this Tel Aviv restaurant has a sharing platter called “The Partition Plan”🤣 https://t.co/O7h836hkJs
These are good questions for which no world leaders have coherent answers. They don’t have coherent answers because they’re not applying international law: their inventing new rules that only apply to Israel.
Exactly. Israel took a phenomenal risk pulling out of Gaza in 2005. It genuinely believed that if it went pear-shaped, the world would back our self-defence. Instead we were pressured to keep Hamas standing. That savage betrayal alone doomed the two state delusion.
The last time Jeremy Corbyn visited Israel, it was to meet Hamas. Genuinely staggering he wasn't the subject of an entry ban until now. My report for i24NEWS in 2018: https://t.co/dwDLeyaHTb
By the way, the last time Jeremy Corbyn visited Israel, it was to meet Hamas. I scooped it for i24NEWS in 2018. Genuinely staggering he wasn't the subject of a travel ban until now. https://t.co/qj3x8ant1a https://t.co/wn3Uz9Hqi7
You can’t fight antisemitism while giving credence to the hoaxes and libels fueling modern Jew-hate. Israel should declare Miliband persona non grata for backing South Africa’s spurious ICJ suit.
The closest the Labour Party has come to unity. And that's why this is happening. Israel/Jews have always been a lightning rod issue to unite people who are arguing about everything else.
There are no winners in a diplomatic fight between Britain and Israel, except for the Labour Party. It's time for cooler heads to prevail, and if not them - then the men in grey suits.
Labour’s stunt has disqualified Britain from any constructive role in the diplomatic arena. Britain’s representatives will almost certainly be expelled from the CMCC. Don’t be surprised if the illegal East Jerusalem consulate is shuttered and Miliband declared persona non grata.
What do you mean “possibility”? Does a Palestinian state exist or does it not? If it doesn’t, what did you recognise? Labour is a joke.
The Conservative Party gets it. The relationship with Israel is critical for Britain’s domestic security. Labour is blowing up that relationship to appease its Gaza First base.
Labour has forgotten who Britain’s friends are. But hey, it has a majority to maintain and there’s a Gaza First constituency to appease.
