The PMO released a short but powerful reminder of what true allies do in times of need and what they don’t do, following Britain’s announcement of sweeping new sanctions targeting Israel.

'I do not believe that the British people want us supporting the occupation by accepting products from settlements in our shops and supermarkets,' Miliband said.

'The Brits have lost it,' Huckabee wrote. 'The Jew hate of their government knows no boundaries and knows no facts.'

'The Jewish people have the right to live throughout the Land of Israel, just as the British have the right to live in London and throughout the United Kingdom,' Sa’ar said.

Campaigning ahead of his country's national elections, Ed Miliband said he would support the recognition of the state of Palestine.
