Former Tory minister accused of antisemitism for comments about Robert Jenrick

Accusations of antisemitism

A former Tory minister, Sir Alan Duncan, has come under fire for making comments suggesting that Robert Jenrick's pro-Israeli stance is influenced by his Jewish "family connections." Sir Alan referred to Mr. Jenrick as an "extremist" who takes his cues from Israel.

Anger and demands for expulsion

Mr. Jenrick, a Conservative leadership contender whose wife is Jewish, has expressed anger at the remarks and called for Sir Alan to be expelled from the party. This is not the first time Sir Alan has faced controversy over comments related to Israel.

Denial of antisemitism

Sir Alan has denied that his comments were antisemitic, stating that he was defending international law and challenging Mr. Jenrick's stance on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Conservative Party has stated that complaints will be reviewed according to their Code of Conduct.
