Any way the long and short of the story is the plastic handle snapped at
the screw joint.
My question is what the best and strongest glue to use. I believe normal
super glue will not be right in this situation, and the flexible glue I
tried failed immediately,
Any suggestions

Thanks

From my experience with snapped fridge-freezer handlers, I don't think
you will be able to just glue it. The handles have to withstand a lot
of force, and no glue I've found is up to the job on its own. On one
of the handles that snapped, I ended up drilling holes either side of
the break, and pinning it with a bit of metal rod, but you may not
have enough handle left to do this. On the other handle that snapped I
had to give it up as a bad job, and get a new handle. Actually, the
new handle was substantially thicker where it had broken previously,
so I suspect it was a common problem with that model.
