The UK should not be getting funding to begin with. It could be there are still some programs running started before 2020. But either way, why the fuck is Israel receiving EU funding is something I don’t understand.

Do you have any idea about UK's place in the Research industry. UK does more high quality research than germany or France. After the US all the best brains in the world go to the UK. If Europe wants to become as powerful as US or China it needs to harness it's best.
