**Netanyahu Slams Western Leaders for Support of Hamas Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict**

Accusations of siding with "mass murderers" highlight the deepening divide between Israel and Western allies amidst humanitarian crises.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched a fierce attack on UK Leader Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, accusing them of tacitly supporting Hamas. In a video shared on social media, Netanyahu claimed that these leaders are effectively endorsing the survival of a group he describes as "mass murderers," following attacks on Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. He argued that their stances indicate a desire for Israel to concede to Hamas, whom he believes aims to destroy the Jewish state.

In response to their criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza, which are escalated following Hamas's recent attacks on October 7, Netanyahu slammed their positions as "the wrong side of history" and humanity. He also pointed out how these leaders ignore the realities faced by Israel, asserting that their statements could embolden terror groups. While Downing Street has refrained from directly responding to Netanyahu's comments, they referenced Sir Keir Starmer's condemnation of antisemitism and attacks against embassy personnel.

The situation remains tense, with civilizational perspectives clashing: Netanyahu's administration has faced increased scrutiny and condemnation internationally for its military operations, which have resulted in enormous civilian casualties in Gaza. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert criticized the current government, dubbing it a "gang of thugs" running the state, while highlighting the moral implications of the military response. As Gaza grapples with humanitarian crises following the conflict escalation, many world leaders are demanding a reevaluation of the military approach toward Hamas and the restoration of humanitarian aid.
