Jonathan Arkush, the president of the Board of Deputies, has expressed his “deep disappointment” at a tweet about the Balfour Declaration by an unnamed member of the UK’s mission to the United Nations.
The tweet, which tagged in Jonathan Allen, the UK’s deputy UN ambassador, read: “Let us remember, there are 2 halves of #Balfour, 2nd of which has not been fulfilled. There is unfinished business”.
The message was posted as finishing touches were being put to events to mark next month's centenary of the Declaration, which signalled Britain’s support for a Jewish homeland in the Middle East.
