Benjamin Netanyahu made very clear comments. He labeled Hamas as the “new Nazis”, the “new Isis” and “monstrous barbarians”, and presented the conflict as a fight between Western civilization and the “axis of evil” led by Iran.
He also said that the war will last for a long time and emphasized the importance of ongoing support. He also implied that Western governments should not be hesitant or uncomfortable when Israel’s retaliation becomes more intense.
The UK PM Rishi Sunak believed it was important to show support for Israel.
However, there were some clever and careful things in his speech – he told Israel to try their best to avoid hurting innocent people, even though he said it in a positive way because he was sure that Israel would do it, unlike Hamas.
He also talked about the rules that countries agree to follow and emphasized the importance of help for people in need.
However, the message from the US President to not let anger control us was not as serious.
And as many Western leaders visited Israel one after another, Sunak also played his role in showing Iran that if a bigger conflict were to happen in the region, there would be negative outcomes.
