Political leaders in South Yorkshire have strongly condemned protestors who scaled the Town Hall to replace an Israeli flag with a Palestinian one during a protest about the escalating violence.
Yesterday, people in the sealed-off Gaza strip saw almost continuous air strikes in retaliation to the killing of what the Israeli military says was more than 1,200 people, including 155 soldiers, by Hamas. In Gaza, authorities say 1,055 people have now been killed, as well as 1,500 Hamas militants who the Israeli Defence Force said have been killed. In Sheffield, the Labour mayor of the city said the protestors “put themselves and others in serious danger”.
The Mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, also criticised the protest, saying it “does not reflect the values of the region I know”. However, the local Green Party opposed the raising of the Israeli flag, saying it would have been more appropriate for the council to raise a peace flag to “show our opposition to all acts of terror by whoever commits it.” It comes as Buckingham Palace said the King was “appalled” by and condemns the “barbaric acts” of terrorism in Israel.
