An Israeli Spy Still Working for Labour Party During UK Election Campaign
As millions of British citizens prepare to vote for a new government, a recent report from the Electronic Intifada reveals that Assaf Kaplan, a former Israeli spy, is currently employed by the Labour Party led by Keir Starmer. Despite controversy surrounding Kaplan’s background in Israel’s cyberwarfare division, Unit 8200, known for surveillance against Palestinians, Labour continues to retain him.
Kaplan’s extended tenure in Unit 8200, beyond the compulsory military conscription period, raises concerns about his role within the party. Notably, his attempt to gain access to an electoral reform organization led to swift expulsion once his affiliations were exposed. Moreover, Kaplan’s ties to the Israeli embassy in London and his infiltration into various political spheres have sparked additional unease.
While Labour has threatened legal action in response to inquiries about Kaplan, they have acknowledged his employment and underscored his involvement in the current election campaign. This revelation comes as Starmer faces criticism for purging left-wing members and cozying up to pro-Zionist causes, raising questions about the party’s direction and electoral strategies.
