| Pro-Israel Lobby Losing Its Grip On Westminster | | IMEMC News & Agencies -
"This has not been a good week for Israel, especially in Britain,
where the Zionist lobbyists have spent millions in recent years
oiling the cogs in Westminster to persuade politicians of all
stripes to give their unconditional support to their favourite
state. It has worked rather well for them, with Labour Party leaders
like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband joining their
counterparts in the Tory Party as “Friends of Israel” along with the
majority of their ministers and shadow ministers.However, after this
week’s triumphant Labour Party conference in Brighton it looks as if
the pro-Israel lobby has lost its grip on the party led by Jeremy
Corbyn. If anyone had any doubt that the Zionist influence has all
but gone, it was dispelled by the Labour leader’s speech." ca

| Palestinian diplomatic campaign derails Netanyahu`s African summit | | Ma`an - Israel`s foreign ministry admitted that the Israeli-African
Summit, set to take place in October, had to “postponed
indefinitely" at the request of the President of Togo,

Netanyahu together with some two dozen African Heads of State. It
was expected to result in intensified economic relations -

to various African regimes. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs claimed credit for foiling the Netanyahu`s summit, having
launched an intensive diplomatic campaign - especially, having
mobilized the support of South Africa, which expressed opposition to
Africa "normalizing relations with an occupation regime". [ak] | 12/9/2017 |
