LONDON, March 24 — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasised the need to protect “democratic values” in a Downing Street meeting today with his under-fire Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, the UK leader’s office said.
Sunak “stressed the importance of upholding the democratic values that underpin our relationship, including in the proposed judicial reforms in Israel”, a Downing Street spokesperson said in a summary of the two leaders’ meeting. They erected the letters of the word “democracy” on nearby Whitehall, while wielding signs accusing Netanyahu of dragging Israel towards “dictatorship”.
In a televised address hours before departing for London, Netanyahu pledged to restore unity within his increasingly fractured country, but gave little away about how he would do that while still pursuing the reforms.It comes days after the two countries signed a wide-ranging “2030 roadmap” agreement, which London said “will drive our bilateral relationship forward” as it looks to strike a post-Brexit free trade deal.
