"Keir Starmer has urged students not to protest on the second anniversary of the Hamas-led 7 October attacks on Israel, describing plans for demonstrations as un-British. Every child of Israel should be able to live alongside their Palestinian neighbours in safety and security, the prime minister said as he marked the anniversary. Writing in the Times, Starmer said protests due to take place at universities on Tuesday showed a lack of respect for others."
"Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages during an assault on southern Israel on 7 October 2023. The subsequent war has so far resulted in more than 67,000 Palestinians being killed and about 170,000 wounded by Israel, according to the Gaza health ministry. At least 460 people have died from starvation under Israeli aid restrictions in the territory."
Keir Starmer urged students not to hold protests on the second anniversary of the Hamas-led 7 October attacks on Israel, calling planned demonstrations un-British and disrespectful. He said every Israeli child should be able to live alongside Palestinian neighbours in safety and security and warned that some pro-Palestine protests had become an excuse for attacks on British Jews. The 7 October assault killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. The subsequent war has reportedly killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and wounded about 170,000, with at least 460 dying from starvation under aid restrictions.
