      UK's Lewis: Boycott of Israel a Double Standard


      Ivan Lewis, the British Foreign Office minister for Middle East affairs, told members of a five-member Knesset delegation headed by MK Nachman Shai on Monday that he saw British efforts to boycott Israel as an unfair and distorted demonization which represents a double standard toward Israel.

      Lewis also promised the delegation that Britain would not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
