Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attacked the UK Labour government over sanctions imposed on Israel, calling them evidence of ‘unconscionable hypocrisy’. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Netanyahu claimed Israel had warned Britain of an impending attack on RAF Fairford airbase that week, potentially saving lives. He suggested criticism of Israel stems from attempts to appease Islamists, invoking Churchill’s warning about ‘the slumber of the democracies’.
