In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak addressed several key issues, including his stance on antisemitism, his views on the Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, and the UK's foreign policy. Sunak emphasized a tough approach to antisemitism, stating that the police should actively pursue and incarcerate those guilty of such hate crimes. When asked about Keir Starmer being a 'terrorist sympathiser', Sunak responded that 'the facts speak for themselves', a comment that led to Labour's fury, dismissing it as 'desperate nonsense'. Sunak also discussed the UK's relationship with Israel, mentioning his efforts to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow 'hundreds of trucks' of humanitarian aid into the region, with the need for hundreds more despite some progress. Additionally, Sunak insisted that there would be 'no change in UK policy' on recognizing a Palestinian state.
