Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the leaders of Britain, France, and Canada of being “on the wrong side of history” after they issued a joint statement on May 19 calling for an end to Israel’s latest offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu, in a video statement posted on the social media platform X on Thursday, said the leaders are “emboldening Hamas to continue fighting forever.”
