Israeli spokesperson suspended amid row with UK government: Reports
Israeli media and UK newspaper The Financial Times are reporting the English-language spokesperson for the Netanyahu-led government Eylon Levy has been fired following a dispute with the British Foreign Secretary David Cameron.
Several Israeli media outlets have indicated that Levy’s firing occurred after he seemingly criticised Cameron for his comments urging Israel to let more aid trucks into Gaza.
“I hope you are also aware there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity,” Levy reportedly said in a post on X that has now been deleted, according to Times of Israel, citing media outlet Channel 12.
Israeli news outlet Haaretz has reported that while the prime minister’s office confirmed the suspension, they did not specify a reason.
