“They fought the Nazis 80 years ago, now we must fight together against Hamas, which represents the new Nazism,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a meeting with his British counterpart Rushi Sunak. “And – he added – a fight for the future: on the one hand there is the axis of evil with Iran, on the other the force of progress.” “This is our darkest hour, the darkest hour in the world.”
Netanyahu said he “appreciated the military assistance” that Britain had provided to Israel. This – he added, after defining the release of the hostages as a priority for Israel – is a war “against the monsters of the world”.

“I am proud to be here with you in Israel’s darkest hour,” Sunak said at a news conference with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. “We will stand in solidarity with you, we will stand by your people. We want your victory,” he added.
Sunak noted in Israel, where he met his counterpart Netanyahu, that “the Palestinian people are also victims of Hamas.” “We know,” he noted, “that you are taking increased measures to reduce the harm to the civilian population.” In this context, he praised the Israeli government’s decision to authorize the entry of initial humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
