A UK government minister has resigned after it was revealed she held secret meetings with Israeli officials.
Priti Patel met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior figures while on a private holiday with her family in August.
She apologised on Monday, but was ordered to return from an official trip to Africa on Wednesday after further revelations came to light.
Ms Patel said her “actions fell below the high standards that are expected”.
