Netanyahu launches attack on Starmer, Macron and Carney after embassy shooting
Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney for fuelling antisemitism after two Israeli embassy workers were shot dead in Washington DC.
Mr Netanyahu said the leaders of the UK, France and Canada are "on the wrong side of humanity and (...) history" after they threatened "concrete action" against Israel this week if it continues its "egregious" military operations in Gaza. He linked the criticism of Israel's renewed military offensive in the enclave to the shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC last night.
The shooter, named as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, Illinois, told a witness that he "did this for Gaza" before shouting "free, free Palestine" as he was being detained. The two victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, worked at the Israeli embassy and had attended an event for young Jewish professionals at the museum before they were shot dead.
Israel's foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar called the shooting a "direct result of antisemitic enticement" that is "absolutely toxic and has been used across the world" since the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas. Mr Sa'ar said there is a "direct line" between those speaking against Israel's actions in Gaza, which he calls "blood libels.
