Mossad Must Stop Collaborating with MI5 and MI6

Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government is currently drafting legislation to ban British trade with Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. Whitehall officials still softly whisper that commerce with Israel “inside the 1967 lines” will remain unaffected. But this distinction is pure fiction. Both Labour Friends of Israel and Burnham’s own diplomats have already conceded the quieter reality: a targeted settlement embargo cannot be policed without transforming into a de facto boycott of the entire Jewish state. Commercial banks will never spend fortunes proving a specific shipping crate never touched Ma’ale Adumim or Ariel. Consequently, imposing a chilling economic effect against the State of Israel is the explicit goal behind this move.

History has proven that intelligence alliances cannot survive one-way morality plays. If London chooses to elevate a “progressive” party fashion into a grinding economic siege of Israel, Jerusalem must respond by turning intelligence cooperation into leverage. Hence, as an effective countermeasure, Mossad should immediately freeze operational collaboration with MI5 and MI6 until this hostile embargo is permanently discarded.

British diplomats have long forgotten the historical origin of their security debt to the early Zionists. In August 1945, future Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek personally walked an MI5 officer to a clandestine Irgun camp near Binyamina to facilitate a British raid. Reuven Shiloah—Mossad’s founding chief— fed London with the identities of Jewish militants plotting to bomb the Colonial Office. Decades later, during ‘The Troubles,’ Mossad operations chief Rafi Eitan confirmed to British broadcasters that he personally briefed Margaret Thatcher’s Home Office, offered joint operations against the Provisional IRA, and even gave access to Mossad’s secret Negev training facilities to the SAS. Nonetheless, eighty-one years after Binyamina, a short-sighted Labour cabinet treats Israel as a moral contaminant while still expecting those same Israeli operatives to keep British streets safe.

This unpaid strategic invoice is far from theoretical. A precise Mossad tip-off in 2015 prompted MI5 and the Metropolitan Police to raid four properties across northwest London. Discovered inside were three tons of ammonium nitrate packed neatly into commercial ice packs—the signature precursor material for Hezbollah, staged for mass-casualty attacks on British soil. For Downing Street to treat now its most critical Middle Eastern counterterrorism partner as an ‘enemy’ is not just diplomatic theater; it is a reckless gamble with British lives. Without a doubt, fracturing this alliance won’t punish Jerusalem—it will simply blind London.

Security Service Director General Ken McCallum recently claimed that British agencies have faced twenty distinct Iranian-backed lethal plots since January 2022 alone. A parliamentary committee independently tracked at least fifteen murder or kidnapping attempts on British soil within that exact timeframe, predominantly targeting prominent Jews. Former Mossad Director Yossi Cohen recalled a past MI5 chief—Sir Andrew Parker—telling him plainly: “Yossi, you deserve the Oscar for what you did here. You have disrupted a huge quantity of terror activity inside the UK.” Therefore, severing the Israeli pipeline also deprives Thames House of its primary map of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) logistics stretching from Beirut to Birmingham. Vauxhall Cross will immediately lose human intelligence sources inside the IRGC that the Five Eyes alliance cannot replicate overnight.

Britain’s compounding internal security crisis is increasingly defined by the state’s catastrophic failure to contain a surge of violent antisemitism and targeted Islamist terror. On Yom Kippur, October 2, 2025, Jihad al-Shamie deliberately drove a Kia Picanto into worshippers at Manchester’s Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation before launching a knife attack. This assault resulted in the murders of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, marking the first fatal antisemitic terrorist attack on British soil since the Community Security Trust (CST) began recording data in 1984. Pro-Iranian arsonists burned four Hatzola ambulances outside a Golders Green synagogue in March 2026. Attackers stabbed two Jewish men in Golders Green in April 2026 in an incident police handled as an overt act of terrorism. Quantifying the crisis reveals that the CST logged 3,700 antisemitic incidents in 2025 and an additional 1,926 in the first half of 2026–an insane trajectory proving that what British authorities originally dismissed as a temporary post-October 7 spike has instead solidified into a permanent, unchallenged domestic reality.

This street-level violence is the direct pathology of a deeper institutional capitulation, where British state organs and public infrastructure have effectively subcontracted law enforcement to the mob. On November 6, 2025, West Midlands Police summarily barred Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from Villa Park, acting on a weak, malicious intelligence briefing later proven to contain entirely fabricated football fixtures. El Al passengers have faced targeted harassment, having been pulled from security lines at Heathrow and Stansted by airport staff wearing political watermelon badges. Just this month, a man openly walked through a north London supermarket wearing a shirt reading “Khaybar Khaybar yaa Yahud” while a Jewish father shopped nearby with his children.

As a result, Jerusalem must immediately and sharply tackle all of these challenges by imposing a formal Intelligence Reciprocity Freeze. Every active Mossad tasking alongside MI5 and MI6 tracking Iranian, Hezbollah, and Hamas networks inside the United Kingdom should pause within seventy-two hours of any settlement-trade statute receiving royal assent. Only imminent, life-or-death threat warnings already inside the operational channel should be spared.

Andy Burnham’s calculated campaign to put performative distance between London and Jerusalem is an act of supreme political cowardice—and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should enthusiastically oblige him. If because of these counter-initiatives the hard-left Labour faction deepens hollowing out the protection of British Jewry through systemic neglect, two-tier policing, and bureaucratic malice, the Jewish state must strip Britain of its relevance. Mossad should bypass a compromised British establishment entirely by standing up a Four Nations Community Shield—an independent, encrypted data pipeline routing real-time tactical intelligence and site-hardening feeds directly to local synagogue boards, educational trusts, and regional CST chapters across the United Kingdom. When British law enforcement defaults to treating visiting Israeli football fans as a security threat while treating genocidal “Khaybar” slogans as a mere “translation misunderstanding,” a redundant, parallel security architecture to protect Jews is not just a backup plan; it is a moral obligation.

In tandem, and rather than just silently absorbing London’s diplomatic snubs, Jerusalem should publish a comprehensive annual “Britain Protected Ledger.” This public, declassified running tally would detail every terror plot, assassination attempt, and explosives cache disrupted in the United Kingdom thanks to Israeli intelligence efforts. While entirely stripped of sensitive sources and operational methods, the document must remain unsparing in its treatment of dates, targets, and weapon tonnages. In short, if London wants to cave to domestic anti-Israel pressure, it should do so with full clarity on how many British lives Israeli intelligence has saved.

Three tons of stockpiled ammonium nitrate is a tangible metric that any British voter can easily comprehend. Western cabinets that dishonestly brand Israel as a moral outlaw ought to be forced to confront the stark mathematical arithmetic of the Hezbollah and Iranian bombs that never detonated in their capitals. Since strategic partnerships require material payment in both directions, Jerusalem must suspend its security life support until London remembers this fundamental rule of partnership between Western allies.
