He also accused Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney of siding with "mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers". Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched a blistering attack on UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the leaders of France and Canada - saying that they had "effectively said they want Hamas to remain in power". He said the Palestinian armed group had welcomed the joint UK, French and Canadian criticism of Israel's war conduct. "I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice," he added. On Friday, UK armed forces minister Luke Pollard condemned the killings in Washington but rejected Netanyahu's strong criticism of the British prime minister.
