It was so tough, Starmer rolled over and agreed to keep supplying Israel with weapons.
The British prime minister, Keir Starmer, and the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, had a “tough” set of exchanges over humanitarian aid in Gaza at a Downing Street meeting, amid street protests demanding Herzog’s arrest as a war criminal.
Herzog, speaking to the Chatham House thinktank immediately after the meeting, said he had offered the British government a fact-finding mission to look at the levels of aid entering Gaza. He denied there was any famine and blamed the high civilian death toll on Hamas placing missiles in living rooms.
He offered no apology for the attack on Hamas’s leadership in Doha on Tuesday, accusing Qatar of being allies of Hamas rather than mediators.
Downing Street said Starmer “condemned Israel’s action in Doha yesterday as completely unacceptable. He said the strikes were a flagrant violation of a key partner’s sovereignty and do nothing to secure the peace we all desperately want to see.
“Turning to Gaza, he reiterated his huge concern and implored Israel to change course. They must stop the man-made famine from worsening further by letting aid in and halting their offensive operations.”

Good? Starmer needs to stand up to countries which flagrantly break international norms and laws.
I’ll bet, first he had to wipe his shoes on the way into number 10 rather than Kier licking them clean as normal, and secondly and arguably even worse he had to actually READ the strongly worded letter this time rather than having david lammy leave him a voice mail.
Has Starmer recognised Palestine as a state? I thought he was supposed to on the 9th.
Along with the French PM, who was just ousted…
Almost as tough as being shot at while scrambling to get the little food that has been allowed in to Gaza after your home was bombed to dust and you were forced to leave for a different area just to survive
Because of the heavy amount of compromising information on Starmer he was showing him to keep him in line?
If he’s admitting it was “tough”, an undiplomatic word, it was probably mutually agreed that to help Starmer out he would use it.
Sounds like Starmer gave him another strongly worded letter.
I wonder what he’s he given away now?
Every time another party says Starmer was a tough negotiator, the UK has ended up giving something massive away.
There were only rich tea biscuits on offer, not the chocolate selection.
A ‘tough’ meeting in which Israel conceded absolutely nothing and got diplomatic cover from the UK by pretending to be a normal, respectable state with normal, respectable political figures, while it’s committing war crimes (and probably genocide) in its apartheid occupied territories.
