Netanyahu brands UK ‘Islamic Republic of Britain’ as tensions grow over Iran war

Netanyahu also recalled a phrase someone had said that "the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Britain as the "Islamic Republic of Britain" in an interview, expressing concern over the country's growing pro-Iran sentiment. The Israeli leader argued that Britain's past support for Israel's victory in the Six-Day War is no longer evident in today's "Islamic Republic of Britain".

This comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Britain, particularly since the recent appointment of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Open displays of support for Iran's Islamic Regime have been observed at a recent Arbaeen Procession in London, featuring posters and flags of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Islamic regime flags.

The Jerusalem Post documented dozens of such displays, raising concerns about Britain's stance on Iran's nuclear program, which has been active since 1972.
