British PM hails UK-Israel ties in greeting for Jewish New Year

Was there any local who was elected prime minister or president?
Moshe Katsav (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה קַצָּב; born Musa Qasab (Persian: موسى قصاب‎‎), 5 December 1945 in Yazd, Iran) is an Iranian-born Israeli former politician and convicted rapist[1] who was the eighth President of Israel from 2000 to 2007. He was also a leading Likud member of the Israeli Knesset and a minister in its cabinet. He is of Iranian Jewish ancestry.

The end of his presidency was marked by controversy, stemming from allegations of rape of one female subordinate and sexual harassment of others. Katsav resigned the presidency in 2007 as part of a plea bargain.[2]Katsav later rejected the deal with prosecutors and vowed he would prove his innocence in court.[2] In an unprecedented case,[3][4] on 30 December 2010, Katsav was convicted of two counts of rape,[5] obstruction of justice and other charges.[3][4] On 22 March 2011, in a landmark ruling, Katsav was sentenced to seven years in prison. Katsav appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court of Israel. On 10 November 2011, the Supreme Court affirmed Katsav's conviction and punishment.

On 7 December 2011, Katsav arrived at Maasiyahu Prison in Ramla to begin serving his seven-year sentence.[2]
 
Anyway, we will keep supporting our crucial ally Israel(both economically and even militarily if necessary). Since it's one of the few real stable democratic countries in the middle East and a forward looking nation

Even though we sell more arms to middle eastern countries than Israel but it's due to their arms industry lagging behind. Meanwhile Israel's arms industry is more developed and so it's more of a Joint venture/cooperative arrangements/shared tech we have with them.
