PM says UK, France and Canada rewarding terror amid threats over Israel’s conduct in Gaza

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada are “offering a huge prize” for the October 7, 2023 attack by calling on Israel in a joint statement earlier this evening threatening “concrete actions” is Israel didn’t halt its military campaign in Gaza and allow aid into the Strip.

“By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed and by demanding a Palestinian state, the leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities,” writes the Prime Minister’s office in a statement.

The war in Gaza was started by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists when they invaded Israel on October 7, murdering 1,200 people and taking over 250 hostages to Gaza, asserts the PMO, adding that “The war can end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released, Hamas lays down its arms, its murderous leaders are exiled and Gaza is demilitarized.”

“No nation can be expected to accept anything less and Israel certainly won’t,” the statement says.

“Israel accepts [US] President [Donald] Trump’s vision and urges all European leaders to do the same,” says the PMO, apparently offering support for the American president’s plan to take over Gaza and clear it of its Palestinians, as opposed to the two-state solution path that the three leaders argued is the best way to end the conflict.

“This is a war of civilization over barbarism. Israel will continue to defend itself by just means until total victory is achieved,” the statement concludes.
