I suspect of Islamic heritage.

His family (on his fathers side) come from Turkey.

Loose cannon, always was, always will be.

He adds nothing to any situation other than a photo call.

I think we should realise that in a situation of conflict, that the general public will not be informed of all negotiations.

But who sent him?
I’ve no idea why he’s going, but am unsure that he’s representing the country.
Of course he receives security, all ex PMs do.

As an ex PM he will be in receipt of round the clock security.

Why would we, the taxpayer, pay?

Of course, we are providing him with a handsome pension.

Why would the tax payers be paying for his trip? Is he representing the UK? I would have thought it depends on who he is actually representing would be paying.

After his visit to Ukraine at the start of the war proved beneficial, Boris Johnson's current trip to Israel smells of desperation. Having been slammed by the recent Covid witnesses as chaotic, fickle, weak and incompetent, first he tried putting out a written defence. Now he’s gone off to Israel claiming to show support for the Netanyahu government. Why? It’s not his role. He can add nothing. Who is paying - flight, security etc? Of course, its us the tax payers. As Netanyahu's future looks less secure, this can’t be seen as anything other than a weak man seeking any route to divert attention from his own current humiliation.
