British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he will visit Israel next year for its “landmark 75th birthday.”
According to the UK Jewish News, Sunak made the announcement at a Conservative Friends of Israel reception.
“Next year I will visit Israel on what will be its 75th birthday and landmark year – after so many years of struggle – and also success,” he says, hailing the Jewish state’s “remarkable achievements” in technology, which he calls “something which Israel’s detractors in the BDS movement would do away with.”
“I will fight very hard for the security of the Jewish state,” he adds.
