Netanyahu to UK, German FMs: Thanks, but we make our own decisions

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Israel's allies for their support and advice, but stressed that Israel would be making its own decisions, after meeting with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Wednesday.

During the meeting with Cameron and Baerbock, Netanyahu insisted on Israel's right to self defense. Netanyahu thanked the two foreign ministers for their unequivocal support for Israel.

The prime minister also presented the foreign ministers with updates about humanitarian aid efforts to Gaza and the continuation of the war in Gaza. Netanyahu rejected claims that there is a famine in Gaza and insisted that Israel is going "above and beyond" on humanitarian issues.


In a cabinet meeting after the meeting between the ministers, Netanyahu thanked Israel's friends for "their support for the defense of Israel."

The prime minister also took a dig at Israel's allies "they also have all kinds of suggestions and advice, I appreciate it, but I want to make it clear - we will make our own decisions, and the State of Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself." READ MORE
