Liam Fox

Liam Fox is a British Conservative politician who was Defense Secretary in the UK Government, but resigned in October 2011. Fox is "sympathetic to the neocon movement in the United States" and has associates linked to intelligence services, Mossad in particular. He is a Conservative MP for North Somerset, and a founder of the British branch of The Atlantic Bridge, a defunct UK lobbying group/political action group with strong links to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and neoconservative groups in the US.

Israeli Connections
The Atlantic Bridge lobbying/PAC founded by Fox in the UK has strong links to pro-Israeli think tanks and lobbying groups. Fox visited Israel many times, and attended the 2009 Herzliya conference, Israel's "Davos" encounter of Israeli policy makers, intelligence analysts, and like-minded foreign politicians. During the conference, Fox met with senior Israeli intelligence officers. While a Defence Secretary, Liam Fox and Adam Werritty held meetings with the head of Mossad.
