The US ambassador to Israel on Friday launched a furious attack on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, saying that Britain would have lost World War II to Nazi Germany under his leadership.
Starmer is among several world leaders to oppose Israel’s plan to wrest control of Gaza City — and ambassador Mike Huckabee expressed his disagreement in trenchant terms.
“So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas & feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved?” Huckabee wrote on social media.
“Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them?… If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!”
Israel’s military will push to take control of Gaza City under a new plan approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet, touching off a wave of criticism.
“This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages,” Starmer said, adding that it would “only bring more bloodshed.”
UN human rights chief Volker Turk said the plan must be “immediately halted.”
Starmer has worked hard to build ties with US President Donald Trump, inviting him for a state visit next month hosted by King Charles III.
