Israeli Prime Minister calls out UK's Starmer, France's Macron, and Canada's Carney for alleged support of terrorism
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly accused UK Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of siding with Hamas, claiming they effectively endorse the organization's survival. In a pointed video shared on social media platform X, Netanyahu rebuked these leaders for their recent criticisms of Israel's actions in Gaza and for failing to support the state against what he termed "mass murderers, rapists, baby killers, and kidnappers."
His remarks came in the wake of a violent attack on Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC, linked to increased tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict. Reflecting on a joint statement from the UK, France, and Canada condemning Israel's military operations and humanitarian restrictions, Netanyahu expressed disbelief that these leaders do not comprehend Hamas’s intent to destroy Israel and eliminate the Jewish populace.
In his heated address, he stated, "When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice… and history." This conflict of views has led to Downing Street opting to remain silent on Netanyahu's specific allegations, although they have acknowledged Sir Keir's previous condemnation of antisemitism.
As condemnation of Israel's actions mounts globally, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has described the situation in Gaza as "intolerable," labeling Israel’s limited humanitarian aid response as "utterly inadequate." Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert reacted to the current government’s policies, characterizing the administration under Netanyahu as a "gang of thugs." He stands firm in his criticism, asserting that such policies may be tantamount to war crimes.
The escalated violence began on October 7, 2023, after a cross-border assault by Hamas, leading to substantial casualties on both sides, reports indicate over 50,000 deaths in Gaza since the conflict's intensification. Meanwhile, aid efforts are increasingly impeded, leaving many civilians, including vulnerable women and children, in dire need.
