Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that France and Britain fail to comprehend the existential threat facing Israel due to their colonial histories, according to Open Source Intel reports from his New York visit.
The remarks come as European nations have intensified pressure on Israeli settlement policy. Eight Arab and Muslim-majority states, led by Saudi Arabia, recently issued a joint statement praising Britain and other European countries for imposing sanctions and trade restrictions on West Bank settlements. The coordinated response represents a significant diplomatic challenge for Israel as Netanyahu seeks to rally international support during his UN General Assembly address.
