Netanyahu Blasts UK, France, and Canada Leaders for Alleged Hamas Support

Israeli Prime Minister accuses Western leaders of siding with Hamas as humanitarian crisis escalates in Gaza.


In an escalating war of words, Benjamin Netanyahu asserts that UK opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer and other Western leaders are facilitating Hamas’s continued governance in Gaza, amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Netanyahu's latest remarks, delivered via a video statement on social media, were prompted by a recent attack on Israeli embassy staff in Washington, DC. He accused leaders from the UK, France, and Canada of supporting "mass murderers" and failing to recognize Hamas's intent to annihilate Israel. Specifically, he claimed that Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have expressed a desire for Hamas to remain in power, marking them as "on the wrong side of justice."

This statement closely follows condemnations from these leaders regarding Israel’s intensified military operations and a perceived obstruction of humanitarian aid in Gaza. As a response, Downing Street refrained from directly addressing Netanyahu’s allegations but highlighted Starmer's previous denouncement of antisemitism and the attack on Israeli embassy staff.

In a critical tone, Netanyahu reiterated that Hamas has declared its aim to destroy Israel, questioning the moral clarity of Western leaders. Amichai Chikli, an Israeli minister, echoed this sentiment, asserting that Starmer and others have emboldened terrorist forces.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister has spoken of his horror regarding the situation in Gaza, marking Israel's humanitarian aid allowances as "utterly inadequate." Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, meanwhile, has harshly criticized Netanyahu's government, labeling them a "gang of thugs" and standing firm in his opposition to federal policies regarding Gaza.

The ongoing conflict has seen a dramatic escalation in violence since Hamas's surprise attack on October 7, resulting in significant casualties on both sides, with Gaza health officials reporting over 53,000 deaths since the outbreak of hostilities. The humanitarian implications of the conflict remain dire, as fears grow over resource shortages and the impact on civilian life in the region.
