Ambassador Matthew Gould: We oppose attempts to delegitimize Israel

[ssba]

“All the noise around BDS has no impact on UK policy. Britain is a friend of Israel. We are committed to promoting the UK’s trade and business ties with Israel. We oppose attempts to delegitimize Israel. We oppose boycotts of Israel, and we reject calls for BDS loudly and unequivocally … Prime Minister David Cameron could not be clearer in his opposition to boycotting Israel. As he said to the Knesset last year: “Delegitimizing the State of Israel is wrong, it is abhorrent and together we will defeat it.” (An article by British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould in Ynet, which can be read in full here, 10/06/2015)
