British Museum justification for Israel embassy event under scrutiny after FOI response

The British Museum is facing scrutiny over its justification for hosting an event for the Israeli embassy. The museum claimed it had no choice but to host the event, citing that it could not undermine UK foreign policy. However, a Freedom of Information request revealed that the museum does not possess any legal advice or policy documents to support this claim. This suggests the museum had a choice in whether or not to host the event, contrary to their public statements.
