Shapps, who visited Israel last year as transport secretary, has said that 'for all Israel’s faults, and goodness knows there are many,' he remains a firm supporter
Grant Shapps was on Thursday appointed UK defence secretary, succeeding Ben Wallace who formally stepped down after a key role shaping the country's military backing for Ukraine against Russia.
In a social media post today, Shapps said he was “looking forward to working with the brave men and women of our Armed Forces” and “continuing the UK’s support for Ukraine in their fight against Putin’s barbaric invasion.”
United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak named Grant Shapps as the country's next defense secretary. The move came after Ben Wallace resigned earlier in the day.
