    What are the implications if Bojo put her up to it before she even left the UK, and then stitched her up like a kipper?

    Just thinking aloud ..

      The visit was tweeted on 24th August. https://twitter.com/yairlapid/status...090690?lang=en

      People get sacked for holidaying when they're at work - not usually the other way around.

      Yep. Utter disgrace. Sack her.
      No, that's what she wanted to happen and that's the deal she committed to without official sanction. Good idea or not, you don't go out and committed to handing over public cash to a foreign state without consultation and without getting clearance at home.

      But on Tuesday it was revealed Ms Patel had not informed the prime minister of her plans to look into giving tax-payers' money to the Israeli military to treat wounded Syrian refugees in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights region - a request that was turned down as "inappropriate" by officials.
      The visit was tweeted by an Israeli politician, not by her and there was no sanction for the meeting by the FCO, which is a requirement for all Ministers engaging with Foreign Governments.

          Jewish Chronicle is saying that Downing Street knew about Priti's meetings and told her not to tell the Foreign Office due to BoJO being in charge.

          linky


          Number 10 instructed Development Secretary Priti Patel not to include her meeting with the Israel foreign ministry official Yuval Rotem in New York on 18 September in her list of undisclosed meetings with Israelis which was published on Monday, the JC has learned.

          Ms Patel listed 12 meetings in the statement, and the emergence of two more last night is thought to have made her sacking imminent.

          But the JC understands, from two different sources, that Ms Patel did disclose the meeting with Mr Rotem but was told by Number 10 not to include it as it would embarrass the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

          In addition, the JC can reveal that although Ms Patel’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not authorised in advance, the British government was made aware of it within hours.

            Thanks to frantic phone calls from local FCO staff calling London and asking WTF was going on and did the FCO know about it.

                  Well looks like she was stitched up, she's probably waiting for Jeremy Beadle to pop out and have a good laugh.

                    Her flight back must be horrible.

                      It has a "House of cards" feel about it.
