Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has defended his handling of the Afghanistan crisis, saying that a now controversial phone call to his Afghan counterpart had been prevented by the “rapidly deteriorating situation.”
Raab has come under pressure from the Labour party after it emerged that he was on holiday in Crete before and during the fall of Kabul. Specifically, he has been criticised for delegating out a phone call requested urgently by the Afghan foreign minister to discuss rescuing translators.
