Israel’s former ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, returned to Jerusalem last year following allegations of security breaches at the ambassador’s residence in St John’s Wood.

The London-born Mr Taub, who began his posting to Britain in 2011, had been planning a fifth year as ambassador.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs conducted an internal probe relating to concerns over unauthorised visitors in the residence and Mr Taub has been cleared.

Since his return to Jerusalem, he has been mentioned as candidate to head a special government task-force on confronting BDS and the “delegitimisation” of Israel, a post which so far has not been created.
