A British charity has suspended donations to a soup kitchen in Jerusalem after allegations that the manager of the kitchen had withdrawn money from its funds to buy a flat.
The UK Friends of Ichlu Re’im said that it “would not send further funds to support Ichlu Re’im until completion of all investigations”.
A report in the Israeli financial newspaper, Globes, said that Uriel Maloul had been questioned by the tax authorities over the withdrawal of the money.
Mr Maloul, 55, has admitted transferring £137,825 to his personal account.
