After outlining his opposition to boycotts of Israel he said: "Why shouldn’t you be a Zionist? It’s common sense."
On the government's pledge to continue funding security at Jewish schools, Mr Gove said: "I made a promise before the election to support the Community Security Trust and pay for the security costs in schools.

"There is now more capable stewarding at Jewish schools than there has ever been before and it’s for reasons that don’t have to be spelt out. It’s tragic.
"We’ve provided that money and whatever is needed we will provide."
Mr Gove also met a large gathering of head teachers before the main discussion with Mr Temko.
