It has been revealed that every time a country's supremo announces their plan to recognise the Palestinian state, Israeli PM Netanyahu sends them a letter. What does he write in it? Let's find out.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly targeting world leaders who have recognised or are planning to recognise a Palestinian state. As per AFP, the Israeli PM sent a letter to the French President Emmanuel Macron and accused him of being antisemitic.
"Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas’s refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets," Netanyahu wrote in the letter.
Moreover, the American news channel Sky News revealed on August 19 that it was not the first time Netanyahu has used this tactic. The Israeli PM sent a similar letter to the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, indicating that he’s sending them to the leaders of all countries that announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state next month.
Former Sephardic chief rabbi and Shas spiritual leader Yitzhak Yosef slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called him an "atheist." While charging the Haredi political party heads for being dragged along by the Israeli PM, who has repeatedly delayed passing legislation that would give military enlistment exemptions for yeshiva students, the spiritual leader said, "You believe him? He’s an atheist. You trust someone like that? Why do you trust him?”
Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, hinted that she might sanction Israel by saying that Benjamin Netanyahu is now the actual problem. In an interview with a Danish daily, Frederiksen hinted she might sanction the Israeli prime minister or even Israel as a whole.
She said in the interview, "Netanyahu himself is a problem now," adding that she believes he shouldn't be leading Israel anymore and that the country would be better off without him.
