Israel’s deputy foreign minister has launched a scathing attack on the UK government, accusing it of a “grotesque betrayal of truth, of justice and of Britain’s Jewish community”.
Speaking at the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFoI) reception at the party conference in Manchester, Sharren Haskel hit out at Sir Keir Starmer’s government for the decision to recognise Palestine, for “out of control” immigration that she said is changing the country and the rise of antisemitism in Britain.
It was hoped that Tory leader Kemi Badenoch would attend the annual event, as her predecessors Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss did, and there was widespread surprise that she did not appear.

One attendee told Sky News they were “really surprised” that she did not make remarks, and another said that in the chaotic years in government, they “had about five leaders and they all showed up”.
