'Islamic Republic of Britain': Netanyahu slams UK support

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply criticized Britain, referring to it as the "Islamic Republic of Britain" and lamenting a perceived decline in its support for Israel.

Try finding that in Britain today, in what is called the Islamic Republic of Britain.

During an interview with Israel's Army Radio over the weekend, Netanyahu drew a stark contrast between contemporary Britain and the era of Winston Churchill and his father, Randolph. He recalled their favorable coverage of Israel's victory in the Six-Day War, suggesting such support is now absent in what he termed "the Islamic Republic of Britain."

Netanyahu also echoed a phrase he attributed to an unnamed source: "the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain." He added that Israel is working to ensure "there won't be another one, you know, in Iran."

the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain.

The prime minister's remarks come amid strained relations between Israel and Britain, which have reportedly intensified since Prime Minister Andy Burnham took office. The article also notes recent displays of support for Iran's Islamic regime during the Arbaeen Procession in London, where posters of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Islamic regime flags were visible. The Islamic Human Rights Commission, which has faced scrutiny from the UK's Charity Commission for alleged ties to the Iranian regime, was also present.

We’re making sure there won’t be another one, you know, in Iran.
