Sir Alan Duncan, a former UK minister, has been exonerated after an investigation into comments he made on LBC in April. Duncan had called for repercussions against fellow Conservatives Lord Polak, Lord Pickles, and Tom Tugendhat over their support of Israel. The Conservative Party cleared Duncan of antisemitism accusations, which he described as an example of 'underhand collusion' between 'immoderate defenders of Israeli extremism' and senior Conservative figures. Duncan's criticism was directed at two directors of the Conservative Friends of Israel. The Tory probe was launched following these allegations.
