James Cleverly slams Israeli minister’s Tommy Robinson invite
- Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli invited far-right activist Tommy Robinson to visit Israel in mid-October following the deadly Manchester synagogue attack.
- The invitation aimed to show solidarity against rising antisemitism in Europe and the shared threat of Islamic jihad, but it sparked cross-party criticism and calls to retract it.
- Robinson confirmed acceptance and plans to meet Israeli leaders including Chikli, visit Jerusalem, the Nova Festival site, the Jabotinsky Institute, and seek entry to Gaza.
- Chikli praised Robinson as a courageous leader opposing radical Islam and said their cooperation will strengthen solidarity amid rampant antisemitic incitement in Britain.
- The invitation drew backlash with UK politicians accusing Israel of sowing division and platforming hate, emphasizing Robinson's criminal record and history of targeting Jewish academics.
