Mark Regev, who is widely viewed by pro-Palestinians as the public face of Zionist terrorism, has taken up his new post as Israeli ambassador to the UK.
Regev has caused outrage by publicly defending Israeli terror tactics that have killed thousands of Palestinian civilians in numerous interviews to English language TV and radio channel.
In his first public address in his new role at the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Regev said that Israel was the only Middle East country that mirrors British values.
The former foreign media spokesman for Benjamin Netanyahu said: “We can all take great pride in the freedoms Israel guarantees to all citizens – Jews and non Jews alike. In the in great expanse of the Middle East, in a region plagued by extremism, violence and tyranny, Israel stands out as beacon of freedom and pluralism. Israel enjoys a rambunctious parliament, feisty media and active civil society second to none.
“So when British people look at the Middle East and search for a country that reflects their values – rule of law, tolerance of others – there is only one country. I am proud to be that country’s ambassador to the Court of St James.”
