Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was openly critical of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Netanyahu’s criticism followed a joint declaration by the leaders of the U.K., France, and Canada that called for Israel to end its military operations in Gaza. For further details, you can access this joint statement.
In a video message shared on Thursday, Netanyahu argued that Hamas aspires not to create a Palestinian state but to dismantle Israel. He questioned how this “simple truth eludes the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, and others.” Netanyahu accused these nations of offering Hamas “the ultimate prize” by advocating for the formation of a Palestinian state.

“I thoroughly condemn the antisemitic attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. Antisemitism is an evil we must stamp out wherever it appears. My thoughts are with their colleagues, family and loved ones, and, as always, I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community.”
Netanyahu also spoke about the murdered embassy employees, saying the two “weren’t the victims of a random crime. The terrorist who cruelly gunned them down did so for one reason and one reason alone – he wanted to kill Jews.”
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered on Wednesday night outside an event at D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum. The two met at the embassy, fell in love, and were supposed to travel to Israel next week, where Lischinsky planned to propose.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment. Fox News Digital is attempting to make contact with President Emmanuel Macron’s office.
