Starmer will meet with Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, when he plans to raise Israel’s military action on Qatar and his humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Prime Minister Herzog encountered criticisms, but government figures argue that peace in Gaza and the Middle East requires political participation with Israel.
Some workers’ Backbencher argued that Starmer should not meet the Israeli delegation and would send an uncertain message about Britain’s position on war. The workers, including the Greens and the Scottish National Party, called for sixty deputies and peers to reject the government to reject Herzog to England to avoid any risk of guilt in genocide.

Herzog, who is from a different political party to Netanyahu, has a more ceremonial role. He had previously clashed with Netanyahu about democratic and judicial changes, but he widely supported the military campaign in Gaza.
The President of the Israeli drew attention to a statement that all Palestinians in Gaza claim to be “definitely responsible for the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023. [Palestinian] The nation outside… responsible. It is not true that this discourse is not aware of civilians. ”
This statement was included in the order of the International Court of Justice on 26 January 2024, the right to protect the Palestinians from the genocide was a “close risk ve and said that Israel’s forces do not perform any action prohibited by the genocide Convention and ensure that the gas population should be protected from the genocide.
Herzog claimed that his expression was wrongly represented by ICJ when he quoted selectively. His visit to London on Wednesday and Thursday will be in the UK for the first time in the UK since his visit to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in spring.
Starmer last met Herzog in Paris shortly after becoming Prime Minister more than a year ago.
