Leaders of Britain’s Jewish community have criticised an Israeli minister for inviting “thug” Tommy Robinson to visit the country.

Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for the diaspora and combating antisemitism, said he was “proud to host British patriot” Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, later this month.
