Priti Patel's Cabinet Future In Doubt Over Israel Trip Row
http://
She is on her way back from Uganda at the moment. The question is, will Teresa wait until her plane lands at Heathrow before giving her the push, or will she sack her in mid-air ?

It has been admitted that she was trying to send ‘aid’ money to the Israeli army, which sounds very odd.
A letter in the Independent claims that the Isaelis were to divert the money to the Al Nursa terrorist group (affiliated to IS) and was to be used to buy weapons to ise against Assad and the Syrian Army.
That would account for the unofficial off the record meetings, and secrecy involved. The FO probably did know about the meetings beforehand, but cannot publicly admit to it. When they say they became aware she was conducting secret meetings in Israel, what they really mean is, they realsed her cover of a family holiday was blown.

It gets even stranger. The DfOA declined a meeting with the Israeli Security Minister Gilad Erdan, but Patel went behind their back and met him anyway, according to Robert Peston:
// The meeting which looks to have done for her was with Israel’s security minister Gilad Erdan on September 7.
What is most shocking about this meeting is that it had been declined on her behalf by her department officials. But unbeknownst to them, it was then fixed up by her constituency office.
None of her officials attended it. The meeting was not minuted or recorded. The only other Briton present was the businessman and honorary presidential of Conservative Friends of Israel, Lord Polak.

Mikey,
I’ve just read this in the Guardian which also concludes that Boris will be the main beneficery of all this.

But it also says that May wasn’t as in the dark about the secret meetings, than she claims.
