Israel National news reported that British activist Tommy Robinson will visit Israel following his October 13 trial, after receiving an official invitation from Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli.
Chikli announced on Friday that he will personally host Robinson for an official visit to Israel in mid-October, describing him as “a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.”
“In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom,” Chikli said. “On behalf of the State of Israel, I am proud to host British patriot Tommy Robinson. At a time when Jews across Europe face rising antisemitism, it is vital to strengthen bonds with allies who refuse to be silent. Tommy has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront hate. Together with friends like him, we will build stronger bridges of solidarity, fight terror, and defend Western civilization and our shared values.”
Robinson confirmed that he will travel to Israel immediately after his trial.
