800 British Jews sign petition against Israel’s new pick for ambassador to UK
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA British group opposed to Israel’s military rule of the West Bank is organizing a petition against the nomination of Likud Minister Tzipi Hotovely as the new Israeli ambassador to the UK.
According to the Guardian, 800 British Jews have signed the Na’amod petition, which says Hotovely has an “appalling record of racist and inflammatory behavior” and calls for the UK to reject her nomination.
Among other reasons, the petition cites her support for unilaterally annexing parts of the West Bank.
Hotovely, who was previously deputy foreign minister, currently serves as settlements minister.
