Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu harshly criticized UK’s Starmer, France’s Macron, and Canada’s Carney for urging a halt to Israel’s military action in Gaza, accusing them of siding with Hamas and undermining justice.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong rebuke on Thursday, targeting UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for calling on Israel to stop its war in Gaza.
In a public statement, Netanyahu accused the leaders of aligning with Hamas by demanding an immediate ceasefire and threatening sanctions against Israel rather than the militant group. He claimed that such positions allow Hamas to stay in power and potentially repeat attacks like those on October 7.
“You won’t be surprised to learn that Hamas thanked President Macron, Prime Minister Starmer, and Prime Minister Carney,” Netanyahu said. “By demanding Israel stand down, they are helping Hamas survive and regroup.”
Directing his message personally to the three leaders, Netanyahu said, “When mass murderers, rapists, and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice, of humanity, and of history.”
He went on to reject the idea that a peaceful Palestinian state could emerge from the current conflict, arguing that past examples show radical groups will take control, backed by Iran. “Don’t tell us it will be peaceful. It won’t be,” he warned.
Netanyahu’s remarks followed a joint letter by Starmer, Macron, and Carney condemning Israel’s military actions and its blockade of aid into Gaza. The letter called the humanitarian situation in the region “intolerable” and urged both an end to hostilities and the release of hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attack.
