MADRID, September 19. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, criticized this Wednesday the “contradictory” messages from the British Government about its support for Israel, referring to the suspension of 30 of the 350 British arms exports to the country while they continue the repetition. the right to defend oneself against the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
“After the Hamas massacre of October 7, the British Government was already clear in its support. Unfortunately, the current Government is sending mixed messages. They say that Israel has the right to defend itself, but they deny our ability to exercise the right ” Netanyahu said during an interview with the British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’.
The Israeli president has referred to both London’s rejection of the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in mid-May against Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, and for the decision to paralyze 30 of the 350 export permits currently available to Israel, on the grounds that there is a “clear risk” that the facility will be used to commit “serious violations of International Humanitarian Law. “
In that sense, Netanyahu criticized the “misguided” Keir Starmer Administration for having sent “a terrible message” to Hamas for undermining Israel’s ability to fight them.
The Israeli army launched an attack on Gaza after the aforementioned attacks on October 7, which left some 1,200 dead and nearly 250 kidnapped. To date, the attack has left nearly 41,275 Palestinians dead, according to the Gazan authorities, which are controlled by Hamas, a number which is over 700 deaths added in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. hands of Israeli forces or settlers.
