Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar has said that UK-Israeli relations have been "damaged" following a "series of unilateral anti-Israel measures pursued by the Labour government since 2024".

Saar made the comments following a meeting with a visting delegation from the British Conservative Party on Wednesday evening in Jerusalem.

In a post on X, he said he had briefed the group "on the strategic challenges facing Israel, including the ongoing, systematic and openly declared attempt by Iran and its allies to destroy it".
