Israeli minister wears bulletproof vest in England as colleague invites Tommy Robinson

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel wore a bulletproof vest while addressing a crowd in Manchester, UK, stating that she was not safe on the streets as a Jew. Her visit followed a deadly antisemitic attack on a synagogue in the city. Haskel, whose government is accused of genocide in Gaza, also refused to condemn a colleague for inviting British far-right figure Tommy Robinson to Israel. The incident highlights diplomatic tensions and connects a domestic UK security issue to the broader international context of the Gaza conflict.
