PMO Spox to GB News: Israel’s response is directed at the Labour government—not the British people

The Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister were very clear, and we make it very big distinction that the Labour government did not make. We are not out to have some type of reaction or consequences against the British people. Rather, this is in response to a Labour government who has been repeatedly targeting the state of Israel since October 7th. I mean, it's so ironic when Israel is facing its most important moment. After our people were slaughtered and we paid for it with blood. We stood against the world. We're fighting Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis that nobody ever heard of. That is when the UK decides the Labour Party to make unilateral moves to reward Hamas with a Palestinian state. Now, to reward Hamas for trying to say the Jews cannot live in our biblical homeland of Judea. And so, we differentiate between the British people and this government who clearly has it out for Israel. And we want to maintain strong relations with the British government. Frankly, we're concerned for the people in your country. Because we see what's happening. If this is what they're they're trying to do to us, what are they ignoring inside your own borders?
