The Royal Society of Arts has apologised after holding an event on its premises aimed at fostering business relationships between Britain and Israel.
Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister, spoke at the Restart IL Economy event, which was also addressed in a video message by Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the building, which is located just off the Strand in central London, to protest over the event.
But TalkTV can exclusively reveal the event was held to unveil ‘Next October’ a project set up to encourage 1,200 start-up businesses to commemorate the number of civilians slaughtered by Hamas on October 7th.
The fundraiser was led by former Israeli science minister Izhar Shay whose son was killed in the attacks.
TalkTV’s Mike Graham discusses the story and the rise in anti-semitism with expert Jonathan Sacerdoti.
