Final ISRAEL 23 July 24 The UK government archives showed that Britain had accused Israel of allowing its troops to run "out of control" during a military operation in West Bank in 2002. The newly-released files highlight Western concern over the Palestinian death toll during Operation Defensive Shield. Britain's ambassador to Israel at the time warned then Israeli PM’s foreign policy adviser that the incursion by the IDF was a "major strategic mistake." Britain's ambassador, Sherard Cowper-Coles, also said that IDF’s action was undermining support for Israel among its allies.
