Conservative candidates for London Mayor outline Jewish community credentials
Susan Hall AM and Mozammel Hossain KC have written to Conservative Friends of Israel
The two remaining Conservative party candidates for London Mayor have appealed for support from the capital’s Jews.
Susan Hall and Mozammel Hossain each wrote messages for Conservative Friends of Israel.
Harrow Councillor Hall described herself as a “longstanding friend and supporter of Israel and the Jewish community” and referred to the BDS movement as “pernicious” which “does nothing to advance peace”.
