Levy's suspension follows a tweet, in response to British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, that 'there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity'
In short: A UK parliament member said israel was blocking trucks at the Rafah crossing. Eylon Levy replied that israel wasn't blocking trucks at Rafah. The UK official then said Egypt told her israel was blocking it.
The UK official took it to James David Cameron who also requested israel to stop blocking food on Twitter.
Eylon then doubled down said the UK could send their own trucks through if they wanted and israel wouldn't block them. 100 a day
Then David Cameron asked israel) if this was their governments official position and the UK could send aid through. The israeli government then backtracked and denied that the UK could send aid trucks through. And Levy got suspended.
A small correction the israeli government backtracked Levy's statement not Levy himself.
This article has more context but it omits the part where a British Parliament member earlier told about the trucks being blocked.
According to Israeli media reports, the British government complained to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office after Levy posted a reply to Lord Cameron urging the Israeli government to deliver more aid.
Replying to the former Prime Minister, Levy, in a now-deleted tweet said: “I hope you are also aware there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity,”
“Test us. Send another 100 trucks a day to Kerem Shalom and we’ll get them in.”
According to Israel’s Channel 12 news, the Foreign Office wrote to the Israeli government asking if the post they deemed critical of Cameron was the country’s official position, at which point Levy was suspended.
British member of parliament Alicia Kearns said on X (formerly Twitter) that Israel was failing to meet its legal obligation to help aid get into the besieged enclave, citing the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing. "I've just returned from the aid staging location in Egypt, thousands of trucks are sat waiting to deliver aid," she wrote.
In response, Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy claimed that the crossing was "currently closed on Saturdays at the request of the UN because there is so much undistributed aid piling up on the other side".
Kearns asked for evidence from Levy, pointing out that his claim was the "opposite" of what she had been told by the UK government, Egyptian government and the UN. "They are clear the Israeli Govt requested no deliveries on a Saturday," she wrote.

I saw that guy in another thread just spamming a Simpsons/George Floyd meme with incomprehensible text in all caps. It's a shame you didn't get to see such a loser!
