The article discusses the controversy surrounding London Mayor Sadiq Khan's statements on Palestinian casualties in the Israel-Gaza War, including his claim of over 50,000 fatalities, which the Israeli Embassy contests as unreliable, asserting it stems from Hamas propaganda. Despite the embassy's claims, the United Nations finds the Gaza Ministry of Health's data credible. The mayor's comments, delivered amid the Eid celebration, express concern over the humanitarian crisis in Palestine and Sudan, while the embassy emphasizes the need for condemnation of Hamas's actions and highlights rising antisemitism in the UK.
The embassy claimed that the London mayor's statistics about the number of Palestinians killed in the Israel-Gaza War were unreliable, because they came from the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
In his social media clip marking Eid, the mayor acknowledged that Muslims' joy at celebrating the end of Ramadan will be tempered by the appalling suffering and killing that continues in Sudan and Palestine.
