Expert: Pro-Israel Influence in British Politics

Israel’s invitation to British far-right figure Tommy Robinson has sparked significant backlash in the UK, raising concerns about the growing connections between Israel’s right-wing government and European far-right movements.

He suggests that this political realignment has transformed the far-right landscape, focusing on anti-Islam rather than traditional neo-fascism.
