Minister for the Middle East, Alistair Burt: “Developing our economic partnership goes hand in hand with our unwavering commitment to Israel’s long-term security. We understand Israel continues to face clear dangers as a result of regional turmoil: an Iranian nuclear programme; the effect of instability in Syria and beyond; and the threat of terrorism… The British government is clear: the people of Israel have a right to live peacefully and free from terror.”
