Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl has welcomed the confirmation of the new Israeli Government.
She said: “We congratulate the new Israeli Government on its confirmation today. After four elections in two years, we hope this ‘unity coalition’ – which includes parties of the centre, left, right, and for the first time in almost 50 years, an Israeli Arab political party – is able to bring stability to the Israeli political situation. It is a wonderful demonstration of Israel’s thriving democracy, and we look forward to engaging with the new Israeli government to further strengthen ties between the UK Jewish community and Israel.”
