On Monday 2 November 2015 the Conservative Muslim Forum Executive held a meeting with two diplomats from the Embassy of Israel. The meeting was chaired by Lord Sheikh and our guests from the Embassy were:

• H.E. Eitan Na’eh, Deputy Head of Mission. He is currently Chargé d’Affaires as Israel’s new ambassador to London has not yet arrived.
• Shai Masot, Political Officer.

The purpose of the meeting was to enable the CMF Executive to gain a better understanding of the Israeli perspective on the Israel / Palestine dispute, and to enable CMF Executive members to convey their own views directly to a senior Israeli diplomat in the format of a relatively small private meeting.

We intend to hold a similar meeting with H.E. Manuel Hassassian, Ambassador from Palestine to London.
