Merry Christmas from all of us at CFI 🎄✨

Prime Minister Boris Johnson celebrated the UK-Israel partnership, underlining “all my life I have been a defender and a supporter of Israel”, at CFI’s first Annual Business Lunch since 2018 this week – attended by 650 guests, including 200 Conservative Parliamentarians and 12 Cabinet members.

CFI was delighted to welcome Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid MK as a surprise guest speaker at the lunch. The two friends, who had first met in Israel on a CFI delegation 17 years ago, were presented with chanukiot by CFI Honorary President Lord P***k CBE to mark the festival of Chanukah this week.

Also in attendance were Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Ambassador of Israel H.E. Tzipi Hotovely. We were honoured to be joined for the first time by Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) H.E. Mansoor Abulhoul, Ambassador of Bahrain H.E. Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, and Jordanian diplomat Bilal Noureddin.
