The Israeli President put Ko as soon as a debate is opening in a prestigious London Think Tank

On an official visit to London, Israeli President Israeli Herzog stopped yesterday at Chatham House, prestigious independent think tank, for an interview followed by a public debate. But the meeting started badly: Bronwen Maddox, responsible for animating the exchange, opened the session with an indictment of the crimes of Israel as an introduction.

Herzog, obviously taken short, cashes without being able to answer. He who expected tributes and complacent questions, like those he so often hears in the French media, comes up against a methodical and relentless criticism. Destabilized, he adjusts his glasses, hesitates on the placement of his gaze, then fixes it by moments on Maddox, as if to tell him that she exceeds the terminals. We feel it boil internally. His body betrays an increasing tension: a slight movement of hindsight, as if to protect yourself from a next verbal uppercut, a last black look to that which dared to break the agreed ritual of police interviews. Bronwen Maddox committed, in his eyes, a real sacrilege: to put Israel at the opening from the opening.

This scene marks a switch: Israel now appears, in the most respected Cenacles of the West, as an increasingly isolated, disputed and pariah state.
