Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu is up in arms, launching a scathing attack on UK PM Sir Keir Starmer, as well as French and Canadian leaders, accusing them of basically saying they support Hamas staying in power. The fiery accusations didn’t stop there, with Netanyahu also claiming that Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Mark Carney were siding with some pretty harsh characters – “mass murderers, rapists, baby killers, and kidnappers” to be exact.
The tension escalated after an attack on Israeli embassy staff in Washington, which led to the UK, France, and Canada condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza as “disproportionate” and labeling the humanitarian crisis there as “intolerable.” Downing Street did point out Starmer’s previous condemnation of the Washington attack, emphasizing his stance against antisemitism as an “evil we must stamp out.” Despite all three countries denouncing the killings in Washington, tensions remain high with Netanyahu accusing the leaders of being on the “wrong side of justice, humanity, and history.”
As the conflict continues to unfold, the UK, France, and Canada are standing firm in their criticism of Israel’s military actions, demanding a change in course and threatening concrete actions if Israel doesn’t comply. The situation is complex, with aid efforts being deemed “utterly inadequate” by Sir Keir, leading to the suspension of talks over a potential trade deal. The stakes are high, and the pressure is mounting as the international community navigates a delicate balance between supporting Israel’s right to self-defense and addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
