For the Gaza StripIn light of the growing hate speech in the country.
In what appears to be a confirmation of his positions in support of Israel in its war on Gaza, as he still affirms its right to defend itself, Sunak criticized the protests in support of Gaza, and said, “People have the right to protest and demand the protection of civilian life in Gaza, but they cannot use this to justify support for Hamas.” “It is a banned group.”
Sunak said that the election of George Galloway to a parliamentary seat was “beyond the level of concern,” and accused him of ignoring the attack launched by the Palestinian resistance on Israel on the seventh of last October.
In response to what was stated in Sunak’s speech regarding his victory, Galloway confirmed that he opposes violence and extremism, and recalled that he was personally exposed to an attack in 2014. He added, “I am against extremism and violence like anyone else, and perhaps a little more so given my personal experience.”
Galloway was referring to the attack he was subjected to on August 30, 2014, when he was a member of the British Parliament, when people attacked and beat him, which led to his jaw being broken, in an attack believed to have resulted from his statements in support of the Palestinians, according to what his party said at the time.
