UK aid minister Priti Patel future in doubt


(MENAFN)Britain's aid minister Priti Patel's is facing sack after she had held two further undisclosed meeting with Israeli politicians.

Patel apologized to British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday because she failed to report that she met with senior Israeli officials, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a private holiday.

She must have followed the usual procedures that ministers inform Britain's Foreign Office before meeting with foreign officials overseas, but she failed to do so and said she regretted suggesting Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was aware of her trip.

Patel had also met Israel's Foreign Ministry' Director General Yuval Rotem in New York and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan in London and failed to inform May about either meeting despite admitting there have not been any other undisclosed talks.
