Former president Reuven Rivlin is quoted as saying that ties between Israel and the late Queen Elizabeth II were “difficult” because of her views on the Jewish state.
“The relationship between us and Queen Elizabeth was a little bit difficult because she believed that every one of us was either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist,” Rivlin told a gala event in London commemorating 100 years of Haifa’s Technion Institute of Technology, according to the British Jewish News.
“She refused to accept any Israeli official into [Buckingham] Palace, apart from international occasions,” he added, noting by way of comparison that King Charles III was always “so friendly.”

Another comment already mentioned the King David Hotel bombing in 1946 by Irgun, murdering 91 people, including many British. Cynically Israel loves to “accommodate” British officials in the Hotel, when they visit.
Elizabeth II grew up and became a young adult, when Zionist terror swept through Palestine, while it was still under British “mandate”.
