An Israeli professor originally from London plans to introduce a course at his university on British politics and society which will cover Brexit.

Professor David Newman says the course, “From Empire to Brexit,” at Ben-Gurion University will be the only one dedicated to the topic at an Israeli university.

Professor Newman, who has been in the UK on sabbatical, has been doing research for a book he is writing on contemporary British Jewry.

But he plans to delay his return to Ben-Gurion to accept the offer of a visiting professorship at the South Asian University in Delhi from January to May next year.
