Israel criticises British defence secretary using clown emoji in online post Imran Mulla on Sun, 03/08/2026 - 11:05 Israeli foreign ministry condemns John Healey on its official X account for saying Iran's strikes on Israel last year were proportionate British Defence Secretary John Healey speaks to the media at Nato headquarters in Brussels on 12 February 2026 (AFP) Off Israel's foreign ministry has criticised British Defence Secretary John Healey using a clown emoji after he said Iran's strikes last year were "proportionate" while criticising its attacks on the Gulf this year. The foreign ministry's official X account on Saturday posted a 14-second clip of Healey speaking to Sky News at the UK's Royal Air Force Akrotiri base in Cyprus earlier this week. In the interview, the British defence secretary had said: "We're now in a position to judge better the nature of the Iranian response to the strikes. We can see they're increasingly indiscriminate, they're rising, they're widespread, they're uncontrolled." In the short clip posted by the Israeli foreign ministry, Healey remarked: "What is significant about this Iranian response is it's different to last year. Last year, it was proportionate; it was targeted only at military installations. This year, in the first 24 hours, we saw them strike 10 different countries." The Israeli foreign ministry used a clown emoji to criticise Healey, posting: "British Secretary of Defense🤡 adopts the Iranian regime’s definition of 'military installations': Hospitals, residential areas and universities.  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "Consequently, all Israeli casualties were civilians! "The Secretary implies that targeting Israeli civilians is 'proportional'."

The Israeli foreign ministry's attack on Britain's defence minister comes as tensions rise between London and Washington. The rift followed Britain’s initial refusal to allow the US to use the joint UK-US base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago to launch strikes on Iran. The US is now using British military bases for the purpose of targeting Iranian missile sites. B-1 Lancer bombers took off from Gloucestershire in southern England to carry out strikes over the weekend. US President Donald Trump has nonetheless repeatedly attacked Starmer, calling him "unhelpful" and "no Winston Churchill". On Saturday evening, Trump accused Starmer of seeking to "join wars after we've already won". UK Politics News Post Date Override 0 Update Date Mon, 05/04/2020 - 21:19 Update Date Override 0

Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid reports from aboard the first flight heading to Doha from Paris since the war on Iran.

Israel launched strikes on Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza early Thursday, bombarding an area it had previously designated as a "safe zone" by land, sea and air, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.

Global condemnation is mounting over Israel's airstrike on a camp for displaced people in Rafah that killed at least 45 people, many of whom were women and children.

Amid signs that Israel may launch a full-scale incursion in Rafah, aid agencies are warning any escalation in the southern Gaza city risks exacerbating the already deteriorating humanitarian situation.
