Israel spent £50k flying members of Reform UK out for tours designed to win their political support and whitewash the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Declassified UK has reported.
With the far-right party still top of opinion polls and in the running to form the next government, Israel appears to have made a significant effort to court Reform members.
Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, went to Israel in September 2025 with £6,500 of funding from the newly formed Reform Friends of Israel, The National has reported.
The trip was enough to convince him that reports of famine in Gaza were a “blatant lie” despite him visiting at a time when the IPC was warning that 470,000 people in the enclave – 22% of Gaza’s population – were at imminent risk of starvation.
Shortly after, in November 2025, another cohort of Reform figures embarked on a six-day trip to Israel, including Tice’s chief of staff Ryan Powell and then Reform UK party chairman David Bull – who called the visit “life changing”.
“I now understand the situation that Israel finds itself in and Reform UK will always stand with the Israeli people,” Bull said.
This time the cost of the visit was covered by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which paid Jerusalem-based firm Conexión Israel more than £50,000 to arrange the delegation’s trip.
The party’s itinerary included a visit to the illegally occupied Golan Heights, which are considered part of Syria by the UK government.
The group also stopped by Israel’s police headquarters, which are overseen by national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right figure sanctioned by the UK for “repeated incitement of violence against Palestinian civilians”.
Among the group were Lancashire county council leader Stephen Atkinson, London assembly member Alex Wilson, Reform UK board member Gawain Towler and Rafaella Stefani, another member of Tice’s parliamentary staff.
In their parliamentary expenses, Atkinson and Wilson both declared that Israel’s foreign ministry had spent £4,861 each on their visit.
The Reform delegates returned vocal in their support of Israel and dismissing protests against genocide as “naively propping up a terrorist ideology”.
Andy Kalil, a member of the public who organised a petition that led to a debate in parliament last week on Israel’s political lobbying, said: “Delegates were shown sites highlighting Israel’s security concerns, but not the devastation in Gaza. That’s not a balanced fact-finding visit.”

A petitioner appearing in person told the Bench, “I order the registration of an FIR against the ACP. I’m the sovereign…”
Justice KV Viswanathan: “You’re ordering us?”
Moments later, the petitioner allegedly threw papers in the air and hurled abuses at the Chief Justice of India, saying, “Yeh de dena ***** CJI ko.”

Hahaha the very first time Jeffrey Epstein’s name ever appeared in print, in November 1992, the writer repeatedly called him a “spy” and specifically referenced his rumored connections to “the CIA and Mossad.”

This is a great question. Brian Harpole maintains that someone in the car called 911 yet no one has been identified as having made that call.
Has anyone come across a 911 call from Charlie’s team? We have not been able to locate one despite these calls being made public.
Wake up @AndrewKolvet!
We need another manufactured lie from you to clear this up.
You texted me back at 12:40pm UTAH time and told me that you didn’t know anything other than that Charlie had been shot.
Can you tell us why Ben Shapiro was seemingly receiving updates before you? While Charlie was en route to the hospital?
Did I mention that Ben’s security team is current and former IDF? I know this because I used to work at the Daily Wire, Andrew.
Can you let us know who on Charlie’s security team was available to provide instant updates to an IDF security attaché and why Ben Shapiro was deemed significant enough for that information during the crucial minutes when they should have been focused on saving his life, collecting evidence, and/or pursuing his alleged killer(s).
Seems a weird time to take a phone call from Ben Shapiro’s IDF security team—no?
Wake up, JUDAS, we want answers.
When Ben provided the figurative 30 pieces of silver and publicly pledged to give you guys 1 million dollars a couple of days laters on Charlie’s set, how did you and @BlakeSNeff feel?
How does money like that feel, Andrew?
Did you let him look at the bloody mic he told the world he would pick up?
Inquiring minds who still have souls want to know.
It was you that booked Ben on Charlie’s show a couple of days before Charlie’s death. Charlie was upset with you about that.
Was that to seed the idea that Charlie and Ben were friends?
Do you have the stomach to try to tell the public that today?
Say it, bitch.
Say “Ben Shapiro was Charlie’s real friend and Candace wasn’t ”.
I want to hear you try it.
Guess Andrew doesn’t want to answer any questions about Ben’s IDF security team receiving critical updates before him.
But I’m glad he said Ben was Charlie’s friend!
I of course have more text messages to share. 🤷♀️
Will wait until the world awakes!
Charlie Kirk hated Ben Shapiro. EVERYONE in politics knew this and Andrew Kolvet is a real Judas for pretending otherwise now that Charlie is dead.
Charlie was surrounded by traitors.
Why would the Utah SBI hire a private Israeli company to conduct digital forensics on this text exchange when Utah is home to the largest computer forensics lab in all of the western United States? And when the state has a contract with the digital forensics crime lab at Utah Tech University?

People who spread hate based on lies will have no action taken against them and here is proof.
The fake tweet of Varaha Warrior Fact Checked as Fake by the Ap Govt official handle and yet the tweet has not been taken down.
No community notes either.
I don’t think Saif Ali Khan or Anupama Chopra realized that “Free Palestine” isn’t Javier Bardem’s personal quote, it’s a slogan against Israel’s illegal occupation and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Their laughter came across as tone‑deaf and deeply insensitive.
