British Jews should leave the UK unless the government changes, and the Labour Party is responsible for fueling antisemitism across the country, Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli told British outlet the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
Chikli referred to the UK's current government as one of the most hostile toward Israel that we have ever known, the Mail wrote.
"Without a dramatic change of course by Britain's political leadership, I see no future for Jewish life in England," Chikli told the Mail.
"My recommendation to Jews in the UK is to consider leaving and make aliyah to the Land of Israel," he added.
"Imposing sanctions on Israeli elected officials whose views the Labour Party dislikes crosses every red line between friendly nations," he continued.
This was in reference to the British government's decision to sanction National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich earlier in June.
There is "no doubt Labour's hostile policy toward Israel, beyond its suicidal political correctness, is also driven by simple electoral arithmetic," Chikli alleged.
'Hamas sympathizers are part of Kier Starmer's base,' Chikli alleges
"I will never forget how, during the second hostage-release deal, Starmer issued a condemnation after Eli Sharabi was freed – starved and looking like a concentration camp survivor – yet he did not dare mention Hamas by name," Chikli commented.
"He knows full well that England's Hamas sympathizers are a significant part of his base," he alleged.
"On the domestic front, in the very same breath that they announce a ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, they permit dozens of marches where chants of 'jihad' and 'from the river to the sea' are heard," Chikli added.
"And one must not forget the threats to arrest lone Jews on the grounds that they are 'provoking' simply by their presence or by holding critical signs near Hamas-supporter protests," he concluded.
