With ‘unapologetic Zionist’ Rachel Reeves out, who now will hold the line for Israel?
But amid some communal panic, Andy Burnham’s emerging cabinet could have been a lot worse
Assessment
The departure of Rachel Reeves, described as an unapologetic Zionist, raises questions about who will advocate for Israel within the new cabinet. While some in the community are panicking, the composition of Andy Burnham's emerging cabinet is seen as potentially less damaging than feared. The key question is whether any remaining figures will maintain the same level of vocal support for Israel.
