A Reform government would “undo the damage done” to the UK-Israel relationship under Labour, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Farage spoke to the Post following a phone call with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Wednesday – a conversation Farage described as “very productive.”
During the conversation, Farage told the Post he had reaffirmed his “strong support for Israel” and reiterated the importance of strengthening the UK–Israel partnership, particularly in the fields of trade, security, technology and innovation.
Pleased to speak with Gideon Sa’ar. I emphasised the Falklands issue to him and its importance to the British people, though I understand Israel’s relationship with President Milei.

“I made clear that a Reform government would undo the damage done to this important relationship under Labour and rebuild it on the basis of shared interests and mutual respect.”
Farage, Sa’ar discuss Falkland Islands
The two also discussed the Falkland Islands.
Farage said he stressed the importance of Israel maintaining a position that respects British sovereignty and security interests.
“For the United Kingdom, the safety and security of the Falkland Islanders and the defense of our sovereign territory are paramount,” he told the Post.
