U.K. Upset With Israel's Russia-free Condemnation of Chemical Attack on Ex-spy
After Israel condemned the nerve agent attack without mentioning Russia, Britain says 'we expect strong statements' from all of their 'close partners, Israel included'
The United Kingdom expressed discontent with Israel's condemnation of the nerve agent attack on a Russian former spy in Britain, which the U.K. is attributing to the Kremlin. Israel condemned the use of a military-grade nerve agent, but did not mention Russia by name in the statement.
"We expect strong statements of support from all our close partners, Israel included," officials at the British embassy in Israel said.
