12:59Now PlayingThe Israeli government's spokesman Eylon Levy has been suspended, it has been confirmed.
The Israeli prime minister's office did not give a reason for his suspension, though it is thoight that the decision is linked to a recent online row with the UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron.
Mr Levy is yet to comment.
On March 8, Mr Levy wrote a now-deleted post on X responding to another one from Lord Cameron that urged Israel "to allow more [aid] trucks into Gaza".
"I hope you are also aware there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity," Mr Levy replied.
"Test us. Send another 100 trucks a day to Kerem Shalom and we'll get them in," he added, referring to an Israeli-controlled border crossing."
But the Tory Chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Alicia Kearns, says she does not think there is any other possibility than Mr Levy's comments being an outright lie.
