Khan criticizes Netanyahu in London
London Mayor Sadiq Khan made a public statement criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that he is "not welcome" in London if he visits. He also called for the execution of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, charges which Israel denies. These remarks provoked angry reactions from Israel, which described them as promoting a "lie of genocide," and accused Khan of deepening divisions within British society. Conversely, the statements received support from activists and public figures who viewed Khan as showing courage in expressing a stance aligned with supporting human rights and calling for an end to the war in Gaza. Previously, he had also advocated for halting military operations and allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza. The debate continues over the legitimacy of the arrest warrants and whether London remains neutral or chooses to engage with the Palestinian issue.
