Gaza Crisis: Trump Criticizes Israel, Netanyahu Warns UK
Former US President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Israel for a second consecutive day, citing images of starving children in Gaza. He stated that anyone who witnesses these images and remains unmoved must be “pretty cold-hearted or, worse than that, nuts.” Trump’s comments follow his earlier acknowledgment of the “real starvation” occurring in Gaza, promising to establish food centers in the besieged enclave.
Netanyahu Warns UK Against Recognizing Palestinian State
Meanwhile, the UK faces criticism for its proposed plan to recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to improve the situation in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly condemned the UK’s plan, arguing it “rewards Hamas’s monstrous terrorism and punishes its victims.”
Netanyahu took to X (formerly Twitter) to warn that a “jihadist state on Israel’s border TODAY will threaten Britain TOMORROW.” He further stated that “appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails.”
Debate Over UK’s Recognition of Palestinian State
Britain has rejected claims that its proposed recognition of a Palestinian state rewards Hamas, asserting that the move is contingent on Israel’s actions to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine, coupled with Trump’s critical remarks and Netanyahu’s warnings, have further complicated the situation.
