Overview

  • Addressing a Tel Aviv audience, Robinson said he believes Reform UK will win the next British election and questioned Nigel Farage’s reliability as a pro-Israel leader.
  • A man who interrupted the speech calling Robinson a racist was attacked by audience members and removed by security before the event continued.
  • Robinson is visiting Israel at the invitation of Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli, with the pair touring the Nova massacre site and Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market and meeting activist Sheffi Paz.
  • The Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned the invitation, while Robinson dismissed the group as unrepresentative of British Jews.
  • Robinson is on trial in Britain for refusing to provide his phone PIN under counter-terrorism laws, and he says Elon Musk is funding his legal defense.
