‘Israeli’ Embassy Official Plotted to ‘Take Down’ UK Politicians
Local Editor
In an episode revealed on Sunday, a senior employee of the Zionist Embassy in Britain was recorded plotting to "take down" senior British politicians critical of the ‘Israeli' entity and calling Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson "an idiot" who "has become minister of foreign affairs without any responsibilities."
The Zionist ambassador, Mark Regev, offered a formal apology on Friday, according to a statement from the ‘Israeli' Embassy. The embassy also said that the employee, Shai Masot, who described himself as a former major in the ‘Israeli' Army now working as a political officer, would soon leave his job.
Masot made the comment in October, in footage filmed in a London restaurant and obtained by the newspaper The Mail on Sunday. The recording was made by an Al Jazeera reporter acting undercover, who called himself Robin and who described himself as working for a political group called Labor Friends of ‘Israel', which rejected any connection to him.
The conversation involved Masot and Maria Strizzolo, an aide to Robert Halfon, an education minister and former political director of Conservative Friends of ‘Israel.'
Masot was particularly eager to target Alan Duncan, a minister in the Foreign Office who has been critical of the Zionist entity and its settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, a sensitive issue in British politics. Duncan, he said, "is causing a lot of problems."
In its statement, the ‘Israeli' Embassy said it "rejects the remarks concerning Minister Duncan, which are completely unacceptable" and described Masot as "a junior embassy employee who is not an ‘Israeli' diplomat, and who will be ending his term of employment with the embassy shortly."
Regev, the statement said, spoke to Duncan on Friday to apologize "and made clear that the embassy considered the remarks to be completely unacceptable."
