Eylon Levy blasts Britain’s Labour government for damaging relations with Israel over a housing project outside Jerusalem—and warns it has failed to understand how profoundly October 7 changed Israeli thinking.
In this heated interview on GB News, former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy:
Calls Labour’s confrontation with Israel “frankly bizarre”
Argues that October 7—not Israeli housing—buried the two-state solution
Explains why Israelis now see territorial withdrawal as an existential risk
Pushes back as the presenter challenges Israel’s position
Warns Britain it could lose its influence in the region
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005—only to face Hamas’s October 7 invasion eighteen years later. Eylon argues that Western governments cannot demand further withdrawals while ignoring the security catastrophe that followed the last one.
🎯 “October 7 convinced the vast majority of Israelis that it would be absolutely suicidal to surrender more territory.”
