Sir Alan Duncan
Conservative Party veteran Sir Alan Duncan has claimed he was prevented from becoming Minister for the Middle East after an intervention by the Conservative Friends of Israel group.
Making the claim in his new political diaries, the former MP writes that his new role was agreed until the then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson alerted him to the fact that CFI “are going ballistic.”
Sir Alan also uses his diary to dispute claims that he has ever “sided with antisemitic people” and instead suggests he has been denied the role as Middle East Minister because he believes in the rights of the Palestinians.
