A prominent figure in the UK Jewish community has criticized the recent public letter signed by several members of the Board of Deputies, a leading representative body for British Jews. The letter, which condemned Israel’s policies and called for greater accountability, was widely seen as overly critical and inflammatory, drawing sharp disapproval from Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, the Chief Rabbi’s deputy. Wittenberg argued that the letter risked escalating tensions and undermining the broader efforts to achieve peace in the region.
