Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday (19) that his country is fighting an “axis of evil” led by Iran.
“Hamas are the new Nazis, the new Islamic State, and we have to fight them together,” Netanyahu said during a news conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, adding that this is “the battle of the entire civilized world.” and that on the other side is “an axis of evil, led by Iran”, which also included Hezbollah.
Netanyahu further pointed out that Israel was embarking on a “long war” and needed “continuous support” from the United Kingdom.
Britain supported Israel’s “right to defend itself in accordance with international law”, Sunak said, as he added to calls for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza.
“We absolutely support Israel’s right to defend itself in accordance with international law, to go after Hamas, to recover hostages, to deter further incursions and to strengthen security [de Israel] in the long term,” said Sunak, addressing Netanyahu.
He added: “We also recognize that the Palestinian people are also victims of Hamas and that is why I welcome your decision yesterday to ensure that the routes to Gaza are open for the entry of humanitarian aid.”
