British Ambassador to Israel donates blood

Britain’s ambassador to Israel, Simon Walters, spent Tuesday afternoon donating blood via Magen David Adom in Tel Aviv.

In a social media post the ambassador who only arrived in Israel a few weeks ago to take up his new role, wrote that he had gone to the MDA blood bank in Tel Hashomer Hospital. He said he was giving blood “just as thousands of Israelis have been doing across the country. Giving blood saves lives.”

Mr Walters asked others to join him in the blood donation drive.
