"Herzog's visit to London drew widespread criticism in the United Kingdom, with thousands demonstrating outside Downing Street for a second consecutive day, according to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Protesters also gathered at the London-based think tank Chatham House, banging pots and pans as Herzog delivered a speech. There's a genocide happening and the president of that country is in our country and being welcomed here, when nobody is happy about it, a protester told Al Jazeera."
"The meeting between Herzog and Starmer came a day after Israel launched an air strike on Qatar, a close ally of the United States and the UK, that targeted a Hamas leadership delegation. The Downing Street spokesperson said Starmer told Herzog the strike on Doha was unacceptable and condemned it as a flagrant violation of a key partner's sovereignty. Despite the sharp words, the spokesperson added that the UK and Israel are longstanding allies."
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticised Israel's man-made famine in Gaza and urged Israel to allow aid and halt offensive operations to prevent further worsening. Downing Street described the comments as a rare rebuke while stressing that the UK and Israel remain longstanding allies despite their differences. Aid groups warn hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza face catastrophic hunger after nearly two years of bombardment and blockade. Thousands protested President Isaac Herzog's London visit, including demonstrations outside Downing Street and at Chatham House. Starmer also condemned an Israeli air strike on Qatar as an unacceptable violation of sovereignty.
