Not really shocking, is it. How does Western Demoracy function? By pitting x amounts of interests against each other, name of the game is to exert influence and pressure to push forward your own - sometimes by any means necessary. These are just tricks of the trade and fair game, so long as you don't get caught. Just the way it is innit.

Emily Thornberry MP, Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, commenting on reports that an Israeli embassy official has been secretly filmed saying he wanted to “take down” Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan, said:

“The exposure of an Israeli embassy official discussing how to bring down or discredit a government minister and other MPs because of their views on the Middle East is extremely disturbing.

“Improper interference in our democratic politics by other states is unacceptable whichever country is involved.

“It is simply not good enough for the Foreign Office to say the matter is closed. This is a national security issue.

“The embassy official involved should be withdrawn, and the Government should launch an immediate inquiry into the extent of this improper interference and demand from the Israeli government that it be brought to an end.”

Pretty hypocritical considering the Knesset has passed a law aimed at curbing any foreign funding of human-rights NGOs in Israel and the Occupied Territories (while ignoring the massive funding by people like Adelson of right-wing Zionist groups like Im Tirtzu).
