UK: The government has reportedly launched investigations into several British citizens who donated money to Orthodox yeshivas operating in West Bank settlements. According to reports, several British Jewish donors have received official notices informing them that investigations have been opened into their financial contributions to Israeli institutions located in the West Bank. The investigations come after the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state and its ban on support for activities linked to Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The development is said to have prompted an urgent response from the Association of Yeshivas and Seminaries for Overseas Students, which has appealed to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Education Minister Yoav Kisch and Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli to intervene diplomatically with the British government.
