Rejected petition That the government should urgently review its position with respect to members of Cabinet, including the PM, being ‘Friends of Israel’.

More details

This because it is vital that senior members of government should not be open to undue influence from a foreign power, just as they must not be compromised by membership of companies or other lobby groups, which might bias their decisions.
Specifically being a ‘Friend of Israel’ prejudices their standing with relation to vital Middle East peace negotiations, especially with respect to Palestine.
That such prejudice is in fact unconstitutional.
