Priti Patel held undisclosed meetings in Israel - BBC News
The International Development Secretary held undisclosed meetings in Israel without telling the Foreign Office while accompanied by an influential pro-Israeli Conservative lobbyist, the BBC has learned.
Priti Patel met the leader of one of Israel's main political parties and made visits to several organisations where official departmental business was reportedly discussed.
According to one source, at least one of the meetings was held at the suggestion of the Israeli ambassador to London.
In contrast, British diplomats in Israel were not informed about Ms Patel's plans.
Ministers are by convention supposed to tell the Foreign Office when they are conducting official business overseas.
Downing Street said Ms Patel was on a private holiday she had paid for herself, during which she took the opportunity to meet people.
