As we reported earlier, British Energy Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh said he hoped Israel would reconsider its decision to take control of Gaza City.
Now, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also weighing in, stating that Netanyahu’s plan is “wrong”.
“The Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately,” he said in a statement. “This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed.”
