As for Johnson. His interests lie elsewhere. 'Johnson, in his article for the mass market daily Yedioth Ahronoth, emphasised his warm feelings for Israel, referencing the time he had spent working on a kibbutz as an 18-year-old, and he described his “sadness” in following the debate over annexation. Significantly, Johnson made his intervention in a piece translated into Hebrew for Yedioth Ahronoth, the country’s most widely read paid-for publication, rather than the left-leaning Haaretz or Jerusalem Post. He said he was “fearful that these proposals will fail in their objective of securing Israel’s borders and will be contrary to Israel’s own long-term interests” and “represent a violation of international law”, echoing remarks he made in parliament last month.' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/01/boris-johnson-warns-against-annexation-in-israeli-newspaper-article
