Ex-soldier 'chased' by protestors after University of Nottingham talk

An ex-soldier says a recent talk he gave at the University of Nottingham became "dangerous" when some students reportedly chased him down whilst he was leaving campus. Yoseph Haddad says he had to be escorted out of the university through a back entrance due to fears for his safety.

But Mr Haddad says on his journey from the university to Nottingham's train station, some students chased after the car driving him and his fiancée. Yoseph Haddad is a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel's national military organisation.

After being injured in the Second Lebanon War, Mr Haddad says he wanted to dedicate his life to improving relations between the Israel and those in neighbouring Palestine. Conflict between the two countries evolved in its modern phase from 1948, when the creation of the state of Israel was declared and an ensuing war left swathes of territory divided between it and Palestine.
