The B’nai B’rith London Bureau of International Affairs held a Seminar, hosted by HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in the magnificent surroundings of the India Council Chamber, on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in June.

In the chair was Mr Robert Tinline, Head of the Near East Group, who introduced the meeting by setting out HM Government policy towards the Israeli - Palestinian issue and in particular the Annapolis process launched last November. There was an exchange of views, ranging across a whole spectrum of opinion. Other items discussed were the Iran situation in some depth, and Lebanon and Syria.

The Seminar was attended by British Jewish leaders and businessmen, who welcomed the opportunity to hear at first hand HM Government’s views on these important foreign policy issues and to offer their own deeply felt input into the discussion.

‘Today’s Seminar was all about bringing information direct to the Jewish Community and at the same time, giving HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office the benefit of the Community’s views on the situation’ said Mark Marcus, Chairman of the Bureau.
