Israeli Officials Blast Europe's "Spinelessness" on Iran: "France and Britain Are Doormats"
בכירים בישראל נגד "רפיסות" אירופה מול איראן: "צרפת ובריטניה - סמרטוטי רצפה"
Summary
Senior Israeli officials in Jerusalem have sharply criticised European powers — particularly France and the UK — for refusing to defend shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz and for failing to adequately support the US-Israel war effort against Iran. Officials accused the Europeans of "hypocrisy" and said they had squandered a historic opportunity, calling Macron and Starmer's governments "doormats." Germany's Chancellor Merz was among the few European leaders to receive any praise from Jerusalem.
