UPDATE
For over twelve hours there has been stunned
silence from the FCO media department in reply to
my questions about the Shai Masot case – I am an
NUJ member, and I think the idea of a British
journalist actually doing real journalism and
asking real questions has astonished them. They
have now asked me to put them in writing, and I
have just done so. This is what I have submitted.
I am investigating the status of Shai Masot, the
Israeli Embassy officer caught plotting against
Alan Duncan and who was very active with UK political parties.
I appreciate the FCO line is that the case of his
conduct is now closed. But I am not investigating
his conduct, I am investigating the improper
conduct of the FCO in granting him a visa and
residency status in the first place.
My initial questions are these:
1) On what basis was Mr Masot in the UK?
2) He was not on the Diplomatic List, but
plainly was a senior officer (an ex Major and
current executive in the Directorate of Strategic
Affairs) and therefore not qualified in the
normal categories of technical and support staff.
What precise visa and residence status did he hold?
3) How many more officers does the Israeli
Embassy have with that same visa and residence status?
4) Has the FCO connived with the Israeli
Embassy to allow many more Israeli intelligence
operatives residence in the country than the
official and reciprocated diplomatic staff allocation of the Embassy?
5) Did MI5, MI6 or any other of the security
services have any input into Mr Masot’s acceptance and visa/residency status?
It is over 12 hours since I contacted the FCO’s
media people with these questions. I would
appreciate your earliest contact. My number is …
Craig Murray
Do not hold your breath
Astonishingly, the Israeli Embassy’s Senior
Political Officer Shai Masot, implicated in a
plot against the Deputy Foreign Minister, was not
on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s
Diplomatic List, the Bible for the status of
accredited diplomats. This opens up a number of
extremely important questions. Who was he, what
was his visa status and why was he resident in
the UK? It is very plain that the work he was
doing as “Senior Political Officer” would equate
normally to senior diplomatic rank.
He was a major in the Israeli Navy – in the FCO’s
own table of equivalent rank, Major equates to
Second Secretary in the Diplomatic Service. After
that he went on to apparently executive positions
in the Ministry for Strategic Affairs, before
moving to the Israeli Embassy in London. There he
held many recorded meetings with politicians,
including giving briefings in parliament and at
party conferences, and acted in a way that in
general would accord with a rank around First Secretary to Counsellor.
So why exactly has he never featured in the FCO’s
Diplomatic List? He very plainly outranks many of
those Israeli diplomats who are featured. It
should be noted it is perfectly normal for
diplomats not to come from a country’s foreign
affairs ministry. For one example Ivan Rogers who
spectacularly resigned recently as Britain’s
Ambassador to the EU, was from the Treasury not
the FCO. Several people in the Israeli Embassy,
who are on the Diplomatic List, are not from the
foreign service. So that is not the reason.
This is not an obscure point. As a former
diplomat, my first instinct was to look him up on
the Diplomatic List. Every country in the world
controls the number of permitted foreign
diplomats very closely, for two reasons. Firstly
it confers an immigration residency status, and
secondly it confers tax exemption and an immunity
from prosecution. The Diplomatic List is
therefore not a loose thing – there is an entire
section of good employees in the FCO tasked with
policing it in close liaison with the Home Office.
Embassies are allowed a very small number of
technical and support staff – IT people and
cleaners – in addition. But these must be what
they say they are. Plainly Masot was not in
reality one of these, and plainly the official
Israeli Embassy explanation that he was a “junior
member of staff” is a lie. The Israeli Embassy is
not given visas for “junior members of staff”
except in very specific job categories which Masot plainly does not meet.
It is a lie in which the FCO must have been
absolutely complicit in organising his immigration residency status in the UK.
I have contacted the media office of the FCO to
query Masot’s immigration status, and so far
received no reply. But the key questions are these:
Shai Masot was not on the Diplomatic List. What
kind of visa and residence status did he have in the UK?
How many other operatives does the Israeli have
with the same UK residence status as Masot?
Why is the British Government granting Israeli
intelligence operatives false residency
immigration status in the UK based on a
deliberate lie about their role and position?
How many other Israeli intelligence officers
are active in the UK with a false immigration status?
Who, specifically, authorised Masot’s visa, and why?
My advantage as an ex-British Ambassador is that
I know the bureaucratically correct questions to
ask to get to the heart of a matter. Please do
ask them of your MP, and get them to demand answers from the FCO.

How many British MPs are working for Israel?
9th January 2017 British stooges, Home, Highlights
By Jonathan Cook
http://www.redressonline.com/2017/01/how-many-british-mps-are-working-for-israel/
Aljazeera is to be congratulated on an
undercover investigation exposing something most
of us could probably have guessed: that some
Israeli embassy staff in the UK – let’s not pussy
around, Mossad agents – are working with senior
political activists and politicians in the
Conservative and Labour parties to subvert their
own parties from within, and skew British foreign
policy so that it benefits Israeli, rather than British, interests.
One cannot really blame Israel for doing this.
Most states promote their interests as best they
can. But one can and should expose and shame the
British politicians who are collaborating with
Israel in further harming Britain’s representative democracy.
It is not as though these people cannot be
easily identified. They even advertise what they
are up to. They are members of the Conservative
and Labour Friends of Israel (CFI and LFI
respectively). They dominate both parliamentary
parties, but especially the Conservatives.
According to the CFI’s figures, fully 80 per cent
of Tory MPs belong to the party’s Friends of Israel group.
Traitors?
Once, no one would have hesitated to call
British politicians acting in the interests of a
foreign power, and very possibly taking financial
benefits for doing so, “traitors”. And yet, as
Aljazeera’s secretly filmed footage shows,
Israeli spies like Shai Masot can readily meet
and conspire with a Tory minister’s much-trusted
aide to discuss how best to “take down” the
deputy foreign minister, Alan Duncan, over his
criticisms of Israel’s illegal settlements in the
occupied territories. Maria Strizzolo, Education
Minister Robert Halfon’s assistant, suggests
engineering a “little scandal” to damage Duncan.
Once, no one would have hesitated to call
British politicians acting in the interests of a
foreign power, and very possibly taking financial
benefits for doing so, “traitors”.
Masot and Israel’s intelligence services cannot
influence British foreign policy through the
opposition Labour party, but that doesn’t prevent
them from also taking a keen interest in Labour
MPs. Masot is filmed talking to Labour Friends of
Israel’s chair, Joan Ryan, about “lots of money”
– more than GBP 1 million – he has received from
the Israeli government to send yet another batch
of Labour MPs on an all-expenses-paid trip to
Israel, where they will be wined and dined, and
primed by top officials to adopt even more
extreme pro-Israel positions. LFI is known for
sending the largest proportion of MPs to Israel on these kinds of trips.
Labour MP Joan Ryan was told by the Israeli spy
Shai Masot at the meeting that she could go on an expenses paid trip to Israel
Does that have an effect on British domestic
politics. You bet it does! Israel isn’t a charity.
A large number of those who have been making
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s life a misery
belong to Labour Friends of Israel. They are the
same MPs who have been talking up an
“anti-Semitism crisis” in the Labour party –
based on zero tangible evidence – since Corbyn
became party leader. Were they following the
dictates of their conscience? Did they really
fear an anti-Semitism plague had suddenly beset
their party? Or were they playing deeply cynical
politics to oust a leader who supports justice
for the Palestinian people and is considered by
Israel’s right wing government, which has no
interest in making peace with the Palestinians, to be bad news for Israel?
Al Jazeera’s investigation has not been shown
yet, so we can rely only on the snippets released
so far, either by Aljazeera itself or additional
leaks of the investigation provided by the Mail on Sunday.
It is worth listening to a Tory minister in the
government of recently departed David Cameron,
who writes anonymously in the Mail on Sunday.
S/he warns of a double whammy to British politics
caused by Israel and its British partisans – one
that is starting to approach the damage done to
the US political system by Israel.
Agents of Israel
The British government skews its foreign policy
to avoid upsetting Jewish donors, s/he says. MPs,
meanwhile, act like agents of a foreign power –
s/he generously assumes unwittingly – rather than
representatives of the British people. Forget
international law, these politicians are not even promoting British interests.
Here is what the minister writes:
British foreign policy is in hock to Israeli
influence at the heart of our politics, and those
in authority have ignored what is going on.
For years the CFI and Labour Friends of Israel
(LFI) have worked with – even for – the Israeli
government and their London embassy to promote
Israeli policy and thwart UK government policy
and the actions of ministers who try to defend Palestinian rights.
Lots of countries try to force their views on
others, but what is scandalous in the UK is that
instead of resisting it, successive governments
have submitted to it, taken donors’ money, and
allowed Israeli influence-peddling to shape
policy and even determine the fate of ministers.
Even now, if I were to reveal who I am, I would
be subjected to a relentless barrage of abuse and character assassination…
It now seems clear people in the Conservative
and Labour parties have been working with the
Israeli embassy, which has used them to demonise
and trash MPs who criticise Israel; an army of
Israel’s useful idiots in Parliament.
This is politically corrupt, and diplomatically
indefensible. The conduct of certain MPs needs to
be exposed as the poisonous and deceitful
infiltration of our politics by the unwitting agents of another country …
We need a full inquiry into the Israeli
embassy, the links, access and funding of the CFI and LFI.
It is rare that I agree with a Tory government
minister, but such an inquiry cannot come too soon.
An indictment of the UK media
Note too that it is an indictment of the UK
media that Aljazeera, rather than the British
fourth estate, has exposed Israel’s moves to
subvert the British political system. It is not
as though reporters from the BBC, the Guardian,
the Times and the Mail haven’t had ministers like
the one above complaining to them for years about
interference from Israel. So, why did they not
long ago send in undercover teams to expose this
collusion between Israel and British MPs?
Here we have documented evidence of the Israeli
government secretly plotting with “friendly”
British MPs to oust a British government
minister. Will we… have weeks of coverage of this
story in the UK media, or will it be quickly filed away and forgotten?
We have had weeks of stories about the supposed
efforts of Russia and Putin to subvert the US
election, without a hint yet of any evidence, and
based on a central allegation against the
Russians that they compromised the election
result by releasing truthful information about
wrongdoing in the Democratic Party. Russian
diplomats have been expelled based on these
evidence-free claims, and President Obama has
vowed to take other, covert action against Russia.
Here we have documented evidence of the Israeli
government secretly plotting with “friendly”
British MPs to oust a British government
minister. If that isn’t interference in the
British political system, I don’t know what is.
Will we similarly have weeks of coverage of this
story in the UK media, or will it be quickly filed away and forgotten?
And will any action beyond the removal of Masot
be demanded by the British government? It seems
unlikely. The Foreign Office has already issued a
statement saying that, following Masot’s
dismissal, it considers the matter closed.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
