Netanyahu criticizes European leaders as weak, says they appease Islamist voters and extreme left

Prime Minister Netanyahu sharply criticized European leaders, calling them weak and passive. "They really infuriate me. You don't have to surrender to the trends dictated by the Islamist voter base and the crazy left. Stand your ground. Be leaders," he said, contrasting them with President Trump. "They are not leaders. They are so weak and passive, and basically all they're trying to do is appease the most extreme zealots in their countries." Netanyahu added that European countries publicly criticize Israel at the UN but privately request Israeli assistance in fighting terror.
