The late Arthur Seldon was a member of ICSEP, which is run by Daniel Doron, a former Israeli intelligence officer and Special Consultant to the US Embassy in Tel Aviv. The US ICSEP board includes Irving Kristol, while the UK ICSEP has Sir Stanley Kalms (ex-Treasurer of Conservative Party), Ralph Harris (Institute of Economic Affairs), Lord Young (British Telecom, Cable & Wireless, and British Aerospace) and Sir David Alliance (who paid the Labour Party more than £5,000 for dinner tickets in 1998) and Gerald Ronson the convicted fraudster.[2] Richard Fox is part of Fitch's Sovereign group which rates Israel's economy. David Lewis (one of its UK 'friends') is also a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel.
