British FM Cameron reiterates support for Israel during visit to Jerusalem
JERUSALEM: British Foreign Minister David Cameron on Thursday reiterated his country’s support to Israel, saying “we stand with the people of Israel in sympathy for what you have gone through”.
During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his visit to Jerusalem, he said: “There’s never an excuse for this sort of hostage-taking. All the hostages should be released. ”
Talking about the agreement between Israel and Hamas for release of prisoners, Cameron, said: “I hope everyone who’s responsible and behind this agreement can make it happen, to bring relief to those families, including, of course, there are British nationals who have been taken hostage.”
Netanyahu said Israel would continue with its war aims “namely to eradicate Hamas, because Hamas has already promised that they will do this again and again and again.
“There’s no hope for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, between Israel and the Arab states, if we don’t eradicate this murderous movement that threatens the future of all of us.”
Netanyahu the world needed to unite against Hamas “just as the world united to vanquish the Nazis or vanquish al-Qaeda after 9/11 or vanquish ISIS”.
