TOP OF THE AGENDA Netanyahu accuses leaders of UK, France and Canada of siding with Hamas

Israel's PM accused the leaders of the UK, France and Canada of being on "the wrong side of history". Credit: Reuters Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched a blistering attack on the leaders of the UK, France and Canada, saying they had "effectively said they want Hamas to remain in power". He also accused Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney of siding with "mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers". The rebuttal comes after the trio earlier this week condemned Israel's expanded military operation in Gaza as "disproportionate" and called its 11-week blockade on humanitarian aid to civilians "intolerable", and threatened concrete actions if Israel did not change course.
