- Netanyahu claimed the boycott came after an Israeli terror warning.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with the Daily Mail that the British government, led by Labour Party leader Andy Burnham, is acting like a "rogue state." Netanyahu accused the UK government of pursuing a policy of appeasement towards an "axis of Islam and the left."
Netanyahu specifically criticized Burnham's boycott of products from Israeli settlements. He noted that this boycott was imposed after Israel had warned London about an attempted terror attack at the RAF Fairford air base. "They are appeasing their enemies and attacking their defenders. That is what is happening. It does not serve Britain or the world," Netanyahu said.
He implied that the UK's actions were a response to the terror alert, suggesting a flawed prioritization by the British government.
