Blair patron of charity that shows Gaza and West Bank as part of Israel

A British charity associated with former prime minister Tony Blair displays a map on its website including the occupied Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of Israel.

The UK branch of Israel's Jewish National Fund (JNF), which lists Blair as an honorary patron, has in the past been heavily criticised for its activities, which have included donating £1m to "Israel's largest militia".

Now the British organisation, which has charitable status, risks being drawn into a fresh scandal over a map on its official website.

As of 3pm on Friday, the website, viewed by Middle East Eye, displays a donation campaign for JNF UK's activities in the Negev, a desert region in southern Israel.

The website reads: "Israel’s centre is prosperous but crowded. Its peripheries have enough space for millions of new homes, but the infrastructure is lacking."
