Britain has split with Donald Trump over Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.
Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, warned that Israel’s strikes were “deeply damaging” and risked destabilising the region.
Both Mr Trump and Israel insist Lebanon is not covered by the ceasefire agreement, but Iran says it is.
Ms Cooper’s comments will probably damage further the strained relationship between the US president and Nato.

Even Marine Le Penn is condemning them bruh. They even lost the French anti Muslim right
Israel dgaf anymore. Post 10/7 they have been on the offensive in every regard and I don’t blame them for that mentality. It’s better to be hated and alive than loved and dead.

We condemn shit on one arm then on the other we allow USA to take off from our country to bomb Iran
Israel doesn’t seem to respect anyone even the U.S, their best friend.
The UK have been increasingly distancing themselves from Israel, they ended trade negotiations, put limits on exports of offensive weapons, and have sanctioned major Israeli politicians such as the head of National Security and the Head of Finance.
Starmer has also changed Britains UN policy from automatically voting in defence of Israel, recognised Palestine, and has refused to help shoot down Iranian missiles heading for the country since Israel instigated the 2025 Iran conflict (which the UK previously did).
Well, they can go and F themselves. Israel will not tolerate rocket threats from Lebanon anymore.
We have been separate from the usa during this whole thing.
They are using our bases but that was because our gulf allies asked.
Britain condemns Israel but refused to be vocal on islamic republic for massacring Iranian civilians. To the point where Starmer actually lied about the contents of the terrorist act 2000 in order to not proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. It’s almost as if their outrage is purely selective and performative without actual concern for life or human rights violations.
If the UK has constant missiles fired at them by an Islamic terrorist group, they would not say the same things
The word condemn doesn’t have any true power or meaning anymore. It’s like yelling at the clouds to stop raining instead of taking any real measures.

condemning is like me saying ur shit. and then go back to business
If the world can embargo South Africa for it apartheid policies. They can embargo Isreal for their muderous sprees
Doesn’t matter, they need to impose sanctions on Israel
Hezbollah literally attacked Israel first, again. As Trump just learned, starting wars is easy, ending them is another matter.
Hezbollah has nothing to do with the Iran war, sorry. Iran doesn’t own Lebanon. It’s fuckin weird that you thought otherwise.
Good and right. Appeasing serves nothing.
The supply of balls in the English-speaking world is limited but not exhausted.
You don’t split with Trump, he splits with you.
