PM Netanyahu had earlier announced, “Israel is at war” on Saturday 7 October, 2023 after Palestinian fighters known as Hamas, infiltrated Israel and launched a surprise attack, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking several others hostage.
The UK PM visited Israel on Thursday 19 October, 2023 to “show solidarity” with Israel as it fights Hamas to defend itself.
PM Netanyahu said: “With British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak who came to Jerusalem for an important visit. I really appreciate his strong support. Hamas is the new Nazis, they are the new ISIS, and we must fight them together. Just as the civilized world united to fight the Nazis and united to fight ISIS, it must now stand together with Israel as we fight and defeat Hamas.
“I told Prime Minister Sunak:
“Eighty years ago, the civilized world stood by Britain in your darkest hour. This is our darkest hour. This is the darkest hour of the world. We must stand together – and win!”
