Ex-partner claims Israel sabotaged Norris’s campaign

ISRAEL moved to destroy David Norris’s presidential campaign, his ex-partner has claimed.

Ezra Nawi, 60, an Israeli citizen and pro-Palestinian campaigner, insisted the Norris bid for the Áras was deliberately sabotaged.

Mr Norris withdrew from the race after it emerged he had written to Israeli judges in 1997 pleading for clemency for Nawi after he had been convicted of the statutory rape of a 15-year -old.
