According to the English section of webangah News Agency,citing Mehr News Agency via Al Jazeera,Benjamin Netanyahu,Prime Minister of the Israeli regime,criticized the UK government’s stance on Palestine. He claimed, ”The establishment of a jihadi state on israel’s borders today is a threat to Britain’s future.”
Referring to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s support for forming a palestinian government, Netanyahu added: “Starmer rewards Hamas’ brutal terrorism and punishes its victims.”
In response, a spokesperson for the British Prime Minister’s office stated that Starmer told Netanyahu that the situation in Gaza is unbearable and emphasized that delivering humanitarian aid is more urgent than ever.
The conditions in Gaza are so dire that former US President Donald Trump also acknowledged them, saying his wife Melania had seen horrific images from Gaza. He described the situation as extremely critical and called for immediate humanitarian assistance.
