‘The problem is with Israel, not us’: Syrian leader says Oct. 7 shouldn’t dictate Israeli policy
French official tells ToI that Macron meant Hamas 'doesn't govern the West Bank' when he said the terror group isn't active there * Burnham: Public trust in politics ‘would fall even lower’ if UK didn’t sanction settlements The post ‘The problem is with Israel, not us’: Syrian leader says Oct. 7 shouldn’t dictate Israeli policy appeared first on The Times of Israel .
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has criticized Israel's policy towards his country, saying it endangers regional security. Speaking at an Atlantic Council event on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, al-Sharaa argued that Israel's actions should not be dictated by the October 7 Hamas attacks.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has also condemned Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank during his address to the UN General Assembly. He warned that ongoing settlement expansion threatens the viability of a two-state solution and announced plans to ban trade in goods originating from illegal West Bank settlements. Burnham expressed concern over the high number of deaths, including children, and the limited aid getting into Gaza.
According to Haaretz, Burnham emphasized that while Britain strongly condemns the October 7 Hamas attacks and stands with Israel against threats from Iran, this does not justify the Israeli government's actions in Gaza or the West Bank.
