Israeli embassy

Al Jazeera English has been cleared of any wrongdoing by a British broadcasting regulator after complaints were submitted about The Lobby, a documentary series it broadcast on the political influence of the Israeli embassy in Britain.
Two complaints were submitted to Ofcom about the series after it was aired, with one complainant accusing the series of being anti-Semitic.
But Ofcom dismissed the complaints and ruled that Al Jazeera was not in breach of any regulations. It stated the documentary “provided sufficient balance”.

(REPORT) — Undercover recordings seen by Middle East Eye have revealed how an Israeli diplomat sought to establish organisations and youth groups to promote Israeli influence inside the opposition Labour party in an effort to undermine Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.
In secret conversations filmed by an undercover reporter, Shai Masot, a senior political officer at the Israeli embassy in London, described his plans to set up a youth wing of the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) organisation and revealed that he had set up other organisations in the past.
