    Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz: "I congratulate British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the UK Conservative Party on a decisive victory. This is not just a political victory, it is first and foremost a victory of values. The specter of antisemitism loomed large over this campaign, and the British public overwhelmingly voted against it, in what is, in our opinion, a testament to British history and values. It serves as an important milestone in the fight against hatred.

    “I wish Prime Minister Johnson, my colleague Dominic Raab and all the citizens of the United Kingdom  success in the challenges that they face.  Britain is a close and important ally of Israel and we are committed to developing and strengthening this partnership on all levels"
