PM Netanyahu slams UK's suspension of arms supply to Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed regret over Britain’s recent decision to suspend the supply of certain weapons to Israel. 

The suspension follows a recent attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of six Israeli hostages. Netanyahu took to social media platform X to denounce the move, labeling it a "shameful decision", Caliber.Az reports.

“Days after Hamas executed six Israeli hostages, the UK government suspended thirty arms licenses to Israel,” the PM posted.

He emphasized that despite the suspension of 30 arms licenses by the British government, Israel's resolve to defeat Hamas—a group he describes as a "genocidal terrorist organization"—remains unwavering.

The Israeli Prime Minister assured that Israel will continue its efforts to combat Hamas, regardless of the impact of Britain's decision on its military capabilities.
