Sir Keir Starmer has come under fire from the US's ambassador to Israel after criticising plans that will leave one million Gazans displaced.
After the Prime Minister warned Israel's latest escalation would 'only bring more bloodshed', Mike Huckabee likened the country's situation to Britain in World War Two.
The extraordinary attack coincided with US Vice President JD Vance's visit to Britain and highlighted the rift between America and the UK on the Middle East crisis.
It also came after Sir Keir announced last month how the UK will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and end the conflict in Gaza.
Ambassador Huckabee said on X: 'So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas and feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved?
'Did the UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn't food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!'
Huckabee's remarks appeared to challenge Israel's obligation to provide food and humanitarian relief to Palestinians who are suffering from malnutrition.
According to the World Health Organisation around 12,000 children in Gaza under the age of five were acutely malnourished at the end of July, the highest number on record.
