Theresa May voices concerns about Gaza deaths during the meeting with Netanyahu
Downing Street is concerned about the deaths of protesters in Gaza, British Prime Minister Theresa May told Benjamin Netanyahu as they met in London on Wednesday afternoon.
“We have been concerned about the loss of Palestinian lives,” May told the prime minister, as reported by Haaretz.
Netanyahu told May that Gaza's problems stemmed from Hamas' desire to destroy Israel. “We are not witnessing peaceful protests,” he said. “We are doing everything we can to both minimize casualties and at the same time protect Israeli lives.”
Ahead of the meeting, protesters opposing Netanyahu's visit held signs outside 10 Downing St. accusing Israel of massacring Palestinians.
The paper reminds that Netanyahu landed in London on Wednesday after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron a day earlier in Paris.
