“The UK’s largest Jewish representative body has suspended five of its deputies for two years and issued a warning to more than two dozen others after they signed an open letter criticising the Israeli government’s war against Hamas in Gaza. The decision by the Board of Deputies of British Jews comes after it launched a probe into 36 deputies who signed a letter published in the Financial Times in April that was highly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government. … the board, which has about 300 deputies, said the signatories to the letter had breached the body’s code of conduct, adding that the ‘presentation and promotion of the letter’ created ‘the misleading impression that this was an official document of the board as a whole.'” (06/26/25)
