Anti-Israel sentiment just forced a British government minister to resign | Washington Examiner
On Wednesday, British International Development Secretary Priti Patel resigned after being targeted by an anti-Israel witch hunt.
Ms. Patel came under fire after it emerged that she held a number of meetings with Israeli officials in August and September, without informing other U.K. government officials. Still, there is no indication of any particularly serious error of judgement, such as Israel espionage involvement. I think the real reason Patel resigned is that she recognized the forces arrayed against her wouldn’t rest until she fell.
