US President Joe Biden will call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today. The White House announced this. “We have made known to the Israeli government our position on a large-scale ground offensive, and the president will talk to Prime Minister Netanyahu today,” a National Security Council spokesman said.
In a speech during a Holocaust remembrance ceremony yesterday, Netanyahu strongly retorted and defended the Israeli approach in the Gaza Strip.
“I tell world leaders that no pressure, no decision by any international body, will prevent Israel from defending itself,” Netanyahu said. “Never again is now,” he referred to the Hamas terror attack in early October.
A clear message to the growing number of world leaders who denounce the high human toll of the war in the Gaza Strip. But also to the International Court of Justice, which has already imposed emergency measures on Israel to ensure that a genocide is prevented. “If Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand alone,” the prime minister said.
