Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, accusing them of siding with Hamas by calling for an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
In a video posted Thursday, Netanyahu linked their criticism to the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., calling the shooter a terrorist motivated by antisemitism.

He condemned their calls for a ceasefire and a Palestinian state as a “reward for murderers,” accusing them of enabling Hamas to stay in power. “When mass murderers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice,” Netanyahu said.
He contrasted their stance with that of President Donald Trump, whom he praised for his unwavering support of Israel. The Israeli leader warned that chants like “Free Palestine” are today’s “Heil Hitler,” equating Hamas to the Nazis and accusing its supporters of seeking genocide.
