Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with the Daily Mail that the British government, led by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, is acting like a "rogue state." Netanyahu accused London of appeasing an "Islamist-leftist alliance."
Netanyahu specifically criticized Burnham's decision to boycott products from Israeli settlements. According to the Israeli prime minister, this decision was made after Israel had warned the UK about an attempted attack on Fairford Air Base. "They appease their enemies and attack their defenders. That's what's happening. It doesn't benefit the UK or the world," Netanyahu asserted.
The Israeli prime minister also expressed dissatisfaction with the British government's policy towards Israel, claiming that London pressures Jerusalem while adopting a softer stance towards Israel's adversaries. Despite these significant disagreements, Netanyahu did not announce a break in relations and continues to view the UK as an ally of Israel.
