The Israeli Embassy in London releases a response to the resignation of a senior British minister over the “morally indefensible” position of the UK government on Gaza.
“Israel regrets the resignation of Baroness Warsi from a UK government that understands the challenges of a changing Middle East,” the embassy says in a statement.
“The current conflict has highlighted the fact, recognized by the majority of the Arab world and the international community at large, that Hamas today is the key obstacle to a positive future for Gaza.”
“Only by defeating the terror perpetrated by such radical groups, be it in Gaza, Syria or Iraq, can there be a real chance for peace, security and progress,” continues the communique.
