....…we had a lot of meetings and he told us a lot of stories”. Masot said. A now disgraced senior diplomat at the Israeli embassy in London spent several hours courting the Scottish National Party’s deputy leader ahead of his official trip to Israel. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

“Mmm … I love Angus,” Masot replied, keen to let his companions know that Robertson was someone Israel could work with at a political level. Masot told 'Robin', the undercover Al Jazeera reporter, that he wanted grassroots pro-Israel movements to fill a “vacuum” in the SNP.

Speaking to The Jewish Chronicle on his return that November, Angus Robertson praised Israel’s success as a “start-up nation” and looked forward to the “huge potential” for trade and tourism. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

“Can I give you some MPs that I would suggest you would take down?” asked Israeli spy, Shai Masot, to UK civil servant.
Maria Strizzolo: (laughing): “Well you know, if you look hard enough I’m sure that there is something that they’re trying to hide.” #LabourLeaks #TheLobby

Pro-Israel Jewish Chronicle, deemed anyone recommending the Al Jazeera journalism a conspiracy theorist and an antisemite, ignored the spy caught on camera: “We’ve just now got the money, it’s more than 1 million pounds, it’s a lot of money," for Labour Friends of Israel.

The Embassy said he was a “Junior Embassy employee”. The JC's smear was rebutted by Ofcom , which "Cleared al-Jazeera of antisemitism and breaching impartiality, they caught an Israeli embassy official plotting to “take down” British MPs regarded as hostile towards Israel".

The parallel series in the USA was suppressed by Al Jazeera, under huge pressure, but was leaked some time later in its entirety.

Shai Masot considered then-UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson "An idiot". #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut
