Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched a fierce attack on Sir Keir Starmer, along with the leaders of France and Canada, accusing them of effectively siding with Hamas by criticising Israel’s actions in Gaza.

The UK, France, and Canada have warned Israel they may take “concrete actions” if it continues to escalate military operations in Gaza. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian PM Mark Carney, issued a joint statement urging Israel to halt its offensive and allow immediate humanitarian aid into the territory.

Canadians “weren’t impressed” by the decision of the UK government to offer Donald Trump an unprecedented second state visit to the UK, the country’s prime minister told UK broadcaster Sky News.

During their meeting, Trump praised Carney as “talented” while expressing a desire for Canada to consider joining the US, prompting Carney to assert that Canada “won’t be for sale, ever.”
