Why It Matters
Relations between Israel and the UK have become complicated amid current geopolitical differences.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has compared Britain to a rogue state amid worsening relations between the countries. He stated this in an interview with the Daily Mail.
According to Netanyahu, the British government, trying to gain support from its political electorate, has taken the path of appeasing Israel's opponents. “It got out of control. As a rogue state,” said the head of the Israeli government.
Netanyahu also accused British officials of criticizing Israel, which he called the defender of Western civilization, rather than confronting Iran and its allies. At the same time, the prime minister noted that Israel still considers Britain an ally, despite the differences between the countries.
Separately, Netanyahu criticized the British authorities for the situation with the arrival of illegal migrants on small boats. According to him, if Britain does not regain control of its borders, it could “lose Britain”, but the country still has time to “come to its senses” and restore relations with Israel.
