Israeli minister wears bulletproof vest in England as colleague invites Tommy Robinson

The Israeli deputy minister of foreign affairs wore a bulletproof vest while addressing a crowd in Manchester, saying "as a Jew I am not safe in your streets".

Sharren Haskel was condemned by British parliamentarians earlier this year for secretly filming them when they were on a visit to Israel and posting the footage on Instagram, accompanied by disparaging remarks.

She was nevertheless allowed entry into Britain after a murderous antisemitic attack by a British Syrian on a synagogue in the Crumpsall area of Manchester on Thursday.

At least two people were killed and four others wounded in the attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

Greater Manchester Police later admitted responsibility for shooting dead one of the victims and wounding another.

"Here as a Jew I am not safe in your streets," Haskel told a crowd of hundreds commemorating the victims of the attack in Manchester on Sunday.

"I'm threatened with death, for nothing more than my very existence," she claimed.

"I stand before you in a bulletproof vest, a Kevlar vest, here on this stage. I am not allowed to be here without it."
