Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the response to Iran's attack against Israel
Manage episode 412735016 series 2098285
The UK is walking a tightrope in their response to Iran’s attack on Israel.
More than 300 projectiles were launched on Israel by Iran in retaliation for a strike on its consulate in Syria two weeks ago.
UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that the attack on Israel has bolstered them amongst their allies, Britain among them.
However, he said, PM Rishi Sunak is hampered by having David Cameron in the Foreign Office, who's beliefs are antithetical to most of what is wanted by Israel.
Liddle said that Sunak will continue to say that they support Israel, but will be mediated by his Foreign Secretary who says that Israel should do nothing more to try get rid of Hamas.
