Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for their recent actions.
This condemnation follows a joint statement from the U.K., France, and Canada calling for an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
In a video message, Netanyahu asserted that Hamas seeks Israel’s destruction, not a Palestinian state, and expressed bewilderment at why the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, and others fail to recognize this reality. He went further to accuse the three countries of inadvertently supporting Hamas’ objectives by pushing for 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.
