London, United Kingdom – “Starmer rolls out red carpet for genocide,” reads the front-page headline of The National, a Scottish daily, as anger mounts over the British prime minister’s meeting with Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president.
Herzog is understood to have arrived in the UK on Tuesday. He will meet the premier, Keir Starmer, on Wednesday and is reportedly planning to speak at the Chatham House think tank later in the day. He is expected to leave on Friday.
Herzog’s visit, which comes during a week when Israel has dropped bombs on Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and Qatar, has prompted calls for his arrest while he is in London.
