In the United Kingdom, Azhar Ali, Labour’s by-election candidate for Rochdale, has issued an apology over his claims that Israel allowed the October 7 attack to happen and had been warned about it.
In a local party meeting, Ali allegedly said that Israel had “allowed” the attack by Hamas militants which killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 others hostage.
In retaliation, Israel waged war launching incessant strikes in the Gaza Strip to kill Hamas gunmen.
