Despite our historical relationship, Israel and the UK haven’t always seen eye to eye, or that there haven’t been challenges along the way. But we are true friends and allies nonetheless.
This week, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly embarked on a significant visit to Israel, underscoring the important bonds between the two nations. His arrival coincided with the solemn anniversary of the September 11 attacks, prompting him to focus his message on the collaborative efforts of Israel and the United Kingdom in confronting terrorism.
