A former Prime Minister of the Israeli Government has delivered a grave warning to Sir Keir Starmer in a scathing takedown of his response to the Iran war.
Joining the People's Channel this morning, Benny Gantz, who currently serves as a member of the Israeli parliament, laid into Britain's response since the conflict started to unfold 11 days ago.
He further claimed the Israelis were "fairly united" in the nation's Operation Roaring Lion, adding: "There's no right or left here. There is right or wrong, and we believe we are right."
The ex-Defence Minister branded Iran a "threat to the state of Israel", saying that his nation was united against Tehran "before it becomes too late".

But his assessment of Britain's response to the offensive was less than complimentary.
Sir Keir, along with his Government, has already had his feet put to the fire over the war with hordes of critics on home soil taking aim at what they deem to be a lacklustre response to the escalating conflict across the Middle East.
Over the weekend, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch told GB News: "I don't understand how Keir Starmer can still be sitting on the fence at the moment, saying all he will do is wait for missiles to be launched and catch them.
"Nobody wants a war escalating, but we are in this war, whether we like it or not. We didn't start it.

"What Keir Starmer should be doing now is stopping those missiles from even leaving in the first place. That does mean targeting the missile launch sites."
However, the criticism skyrocketed after US President Donald Trump launched devastating criticism across the pond, revealing last week the UK was "giving serious thought" to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
But Mr Trump said the US "don't need people" who join wars "after we've already won" in a harsh rebuke of the Prime Minister, who he previously branded a "loser with no future".
Speaking on his own view of the fallout between the world leaders, Mr Gantz said: "I don't like to criticise others, but I definitely can say that no one should make this mistake.

"There is right or wrong in this case. There is good and bad in this case. And I think that not joining it, not supporting it, at least whether it's declaration and whether its cooperationm I think it's the wrong deed.
"I would hope to see difference... Some change in this aspect."
But his criticism did not halt at Britain's borders, with Mr Gantz expanding his warning across the whole European continent.
"Seriously, European countries must remember the reality as it is," he added. "If it's not... We've tried diplomatic processes for the last 20, 25 years on this issue of nuclear and other aspects.
"Nothing really helped. So when the time comes, you need to act. When you need to act, you better act strong."
Initially, Sir Keir denied US bombers access to RAF bases - a decision which he backtracked on after RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus was targeted by an Iranian-made drone.
Type-45 Destroyer HMS Dragon is now on its way to the eastern Mediterranean, with the Government already having deployed a number of RAF Wildcat Helicopters to the airbase last week.
Over the weekend, the Ministry of Defence waved off two Typhoon fighter jets, accompanied by at least three US bombers, from RAF Fairford, all of which were due to take part in "defensive" operations in Iran.
On Monday, Defence Secretary said the fighter jets had already shot down two drones - one over Jordan and another on its way to Bahrain.
