Israel could halt intelligence cooperation with UK if Jeremy Corbyn wins election

[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested Israel may halt its intelligence cooperation with the UK if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister and carries out his pledge to impose an arms embargo on Israel.

Israel has become one of Britannia’s most important intelligence partners after the US, but the Israeli prime minister indicated that security relationship would be damaged under a Corbyn premiership.

During a visit to London in September, The Telegraph asked Mr Netanyahu whether security cooperation could continue if Mr Corbyn follows through on his promises to stop arms sales to Israel and to recognise a Paleostinian state. "What do you think?" Mr Netanyahu said.

The Israeli leader refused to elaborate.

#1 Isn't this the same kind of interfering with foreign elections that we all despised Obama for doing? Remember when he said, "vote the way I think you should, otherwise you go to the back of the line for a trade deal"? This is the same shit.

#3 Jeremy Corbyn is winning no elections. But nice to read of Israel putting England 'in their place'.

#4 #1 - our resident troll suggests the Jooos are interfering with British elections? Twat-time again. Bibi is saying they will not have the same relations if an active hater is elected. Nothing more

#5 Herb__ the flaw in your proposition is that this "interference" is only effective if the country as a whole loves Israel. Given the recent demographic changes as well as Britain's (ancient) history with the Jews, it would be more likely to boost Corbyn.

#6 Yes, Erb, it is.

Near as I can tell, diplomacy is all about quid quo pro. When it gets kinetic, we call it war.
