Starmer urges Iran to 'refrain from attacking Israel' in 'rare' phone call with country's president
news.sky.com
The prime minister tells President Masoud Pezeshkian he is "deeply concerned" amid growing fears Iran will retaliate against Israel over the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

So Israel break international law and then Starmer asks Iran to just suck it up, saying it will put the ceasefire in jeopardy, ignoring the fact that Israel just assassinated the lead negotiator. What in the bloody fuck?

      I would like you to interpet it at face value. It does not say that I support Israel committing war crimes.

      Big ole assumption on your part here. You don’t have to cover every side of a situation when you discuss a specific facet.

      Their second quote could certainly be followed by a sentence reflecting on Israel’s massive issues, without losing the consistency of narrative.
