Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Ministers of Britain and Canada, Keira Starmer and Mark Carney, encouraging anti -Semitism. He said after shooting at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, which claimed two victims. TASR reports according to BBC and Sky News.
Netanyahu said that leaders of France, Britain and Canada stand “on the wrong side of humanity and history” after they threatened concrete steps against Israel for his military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Criticism and challenges
According to Sky News, the Prime Minister linked criticism against the new Israeli operation in Gaza with a shooting in Washington, where two workers of the Israeli embassy died. The suspicious shooter shouted during the arrest: “Freedom of Palestine”.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar described the shooting as a “direct outcome of anti -Semitic incitement”, which is “absolutely toxic and used worldwide” from the attacks of the Palestinian militant movement Hamas to Israel from October 7, 2023.
Sanctions and concerns
Netanyahu said that by Carney, Starmer and Macron, they threatened with sanctions of Israel and not Hamas, “they actually said they wanted Hamas to stay in power”. According to Israeli Prime Minister, some allies of Israel wanted Israel to “retreat and accept that the army of Hamas mass murderers will survive”.
According to the BBC, the British Prime Minister’s office has not yet responded to Netanyahu’s criticism. Starmer, however, condemned the attack on the Israeli embassy on Thursday. On the X Network, he described anti -Semitism as “evil that we need to loot”. The sorrow was also expressed by Carney and Macron, as well as many other European and world leaders.
A joint statement
Britain, France and Canada condemned a new Israeli operation in the war -destroyed zone of Gaza on Monday. They also criticized Israel for being blocking aid to the enclave from March 2 and threatened with measures, including sanctions for his activities in the Gaza Strip and on the West Bank of Jordan.
Netanyahu claims that Hamas wants to destroy Israel and erased from the Jews world. “I have never been able to understand how this simple truth can be avoided by leaders of France, Britain, Canada and other countries,” the Prime Minister said.
“I say President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer: If you thank you mass murderers, sexual rapists, children’s murderers and kidnappers, you are on the wrong side of justice,” Netanyahu said.
