Astonishing footage, filmed by Al Jazeera, shows Israeli official Shai Masot claim the government has "infiltrated" both the Conservative and Labour parties
THE Israeli embassy has vowed to "take down" Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan in shocking undercover footage.
Astonishing footage, filmed by Al Jazeera, shows Israeli official Shai Masot claim the government has "infiltrated" both the Conservative and Labour parties.
The senior diplomat vows to "take down" pro-Palestinian Sir Alan Duncan after branding Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson an "idiot".
He adds: "If something real happened... it will be Duncan."
Shockingly the intelligence expert is egged on by another senior aide, Maria Strizzolo, to also bring down Conservative Minister Robert Halfon.
Speaking across the table in Aubaine restaurant, directly opposite the Israeli Embassy in Kensington, West London, Masot asks Strizzolo: "Can I give you names of MPs I suggest you take down?"
Strizzolo replies: "If you look hard enough I'm sure there's something they're trying to hide."
Masot then says "Yeah. I have some MPs", before turning to the undercover Al Jazeera reporter and adding: ";She knows which MPs I want to take down."
The politicians claim the Israeli government is using secret cash and covert support to infiltrate the UK's political parties through its embassy.
Last night it emerged that Israeli ambassador Mark Regev had made a full apology to Sir Alan for the "completely unacceptable" comments made by Mr Masot.
A spokesman for Boris Johnson later said: "The Israeli ambassador has apologised and made it clear to us that these comments do not represent the views of the Israeli Embassy or government."
The clip also shows Masot, who is the senior political officer at the Israeli embassy, tell Labour MP Joan Ryan he has obtained "more than £1 million" to pay for sympathetic Labour MPs to visit Israel.
He also brands Jeremy Corbyn "crazy" and slams his "weirdo" supporters.
Pro-Israel Labour activists are apparently present at the meeting and are heard discussing the Israeli government's secret role in backing their activities.
The plot to smear the Conservative MPs comes amid Labour party in-fighting that has seen Corbyn supporters branded "anti-semites" for their support of Palestine.
An investigative unit of the Qatari-based Al Jazeera covertly captured the footage and claim it shows the Israeli Government has "infiltrated" Conservative and Labour parties.
Senior Tory MPs have slammed the damning footage and called for a Downing Street inquiry.
Former Tory Minister Sir Desmond Swayne told the : "To talk of “taking down” a British Minister is very sinister. There is anger in the US at Russia’s meddling in its democratic process and no such foreign meddling should be allowed in the UK."
Conservative chairman of the Common Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Crispin Blunt, who is also targeted, branded the film "outrageous";.
But politicans have denied claims the two main UK parties are being "infiltrated" by the Israeli government.
Lord Stuart Polak, senior CFI director, told the Mail: "It is utter nonsense to assert that any UK political party is taken over by any organisation.
"The Friends of Israel groups do their job of educating their members about the complicated issues in the Middle East. The Israeli embassy represents Israel in a professional manner. To suggest they are involved in anything sinister is poppycock."
