Johnson says UK government ‘strong supporter’ of Israel
UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says the current British government is a “strong supporter” of Israel at a press conference in Jerusalem alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu says the conflict is rooted the denial of a Jewish nation state, and not Israeli settlement building in the West Bank.
