The UK support group for Tel Aviv University is trying to attract longer-term investment in the institutionby running its first legacy tour later this year.

And the man they have running it, Geoffrey Simmonds, has led similar tours for the Hebrew University.

Mr Simmonds - who has resigned as a Hebrew University governor - is "delighted" to be fundraising on behalf of the Tel Aviv University Trust.

"It's the biggest university in Israel," he said. "It has particularly strong ties with business and professional activities in Tel Aviv and almost all the students that come out of Tel Aviv get a job offer before they leave the university."
