Mark Regev, now a chief spokesman for the Zionist State, was Israeli Ambassador to the UK from 2016 to 2020, the years when Israel was actively working to interfere in UK politics - as exposed by the first 'The Lobby' series on Al Zazeera in Jan 2017. 1/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lobby…
Shai Masot, an official at the Israeli embassy in London, was sent back to Israel. But NO Israeli diplomats were expelled (unlike the mass expulsions of Russian diplomats over the #Spripal incident in 2018 - when there was no evidence of Russian involvement). @timtron2020.

@timtron2020 Unlike the later Skripal case, PM Teresa May delegated the Israeli case to her Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, who rejected calls to take action against the Israeli embassy and said that he regarded the matter as closed.
Mark Regev was born (as Mark Freiburg) in 1960 in Melbourne, Australia. HIs grandparents had immigrated from Germany and Poland. Regev made aliyah in 1982. Before he became Ambassador to the UK in 2016, Regev was from 2007 the spokesman for Netanyahu’s office and ...

@AntiCorpRaver @Lyndonx Agreed. "BREXIT was the right thing to do but it was not executed." And "The establishment & deep state did everything in their power to thwart Brexit."
Today Orban and Fico are speaking the truth about the EU.
@AntiCorpRaver @Lyndonx The 2016 Referendum was only called to kill off the threat of UKIP after its polling successes.
Cameron promised to "do whatever the electorate decide" but resigned within hours of the result. The civil service should have been instructed to prepare alternate plans

@5Strat @aldamu_jo This has been known since 2014 when Daniel Halper published "Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine". At the time, the Times of Israel said Netanyahu offered Lewinsky tapes to Clinton in exchange for release of Jonathan Pollard.

@5Strat @aldamu_jo Pollard was given a life sentence in 1987. After his release he emigrated to Israel in 2020 on a private jet owned by Sheldon Adelson.
