PM insists actions by Western nations demanding end to Gaza war ‘won’t influence’ Israel, but Trump absolutely committed to Israel

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the harsh rhetoric and punitive actions, including sanctions, from European nations demanding an end to the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
"will not influence" Israel to change its national security policies.
"European countries will not influence us and they will not cause us to abandon our core objectives — ensuring the security of Israel and the future of Israel," says Netanyahu at a presser in Jerusalem.
In recent days, European nations have called on Israel to halt its expanded military campaign in Gaza and lift restrictions on aid for Gazook civilians. On Tuesday, the United Kingdom announced a pause in free trade talks with Israel and imposed sanctions on West Bank settlers, a day after the leaders of the UK, La Belle France, and Canada issued a joint statement explicitly threatening to take action against Israel if it does not end the conflict and allow in aid.
"We will do what is necessary to complete the war," says the premier.
"It is a badge of shame that Britannia, instead of imposing sanctions on Hamas
 ..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
, is imposing sanctions on a woman who is threatened daily on the roads of Judea and Samaria by Hamas terrorists," Netanyahu also, likely referring to veteran settler leader Daniella Weiss.
"It’s a total loss of moral direction. These countries are under pressure — from the Islamic minority within them, and from public opinion shaped by Hamas’s false propaganda," the premier says.
Netanyahu says that "the sanctions that are truly concerning" would be imposed by the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Security Council. "Binding sanctions — a resolution we will not allow," he asserts.
According to Netanyahu, as a condition for releasing hostages and agreeing to end the war, Hamas is demanding the UN Security Council pass a resolution providing for binding sanctions that would damage Israel’s economy and national security were it to resume fighting the terror group at a later time. Such a resolution, if it passed, would be impossible to revoke, he says.
"That’s why we reject this condition [of ending the war.] It’s a childish condition promoted by people who don’t understand what they’re talking about, saying: ’What’s the problem with ending the war on Hamas’s terms? Just get the hostages out and then go back in’," says Netanyahu.
"They’re forgetting...it won’t come for free. You’d have to evacuate the entire Gaza Strip. There would be a binding resolution in the Security Council that would crash Israel’s economy completely, and also our security systems. It’s insane. Simply insane," he continues.
"This is Hamas’s goal," he says. "They want to stop the war, end it, and push through a binding Security Council resolution — one that would compel 180 countries to impose sanctions on us."
"All those images — the hunger, the claims that ’44,000 children are about to die’ — all of that false propaganda echoes over there, and they cave to it," says the premier, possibly referring to a debunked UN claim earlier this week that 14,000 babies in Gaza would soon die if proper nutrition doesn’t reach them.
"I won’t cave to it. I will do what needs to be done," says Netanyahu, adding that he also rejects the prospect of European nations unilaterally recognizing a Paleostinian state.
"We strongly oppose their intention to give Hamas the ultimate prize — to recognize a Paleostinian state. After October 7, after we saw what a de facto Paleostinian state looks like — it was called Gaza. Hamas’s Gaza. Hamastan. And now they want to create another one? There is no greater reward for terror," says Netanyahu.
He says Israel has "smashed" terror cells in West Bank refugee camps in an unprecedented way. "We are not capitulating to any terrorist — in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Gaza, Leb
...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....
or Judea and Samaria."
Netanyahu: Trump told me ‘I have absolute commitment to you’; US deepening ties with Arab states can expand Abraham Accords
[IsraelTimes] In his press conference this evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares that Israel’s relations with the United States are positive and reports in Israeli and US media of a rift between him and US President Donald Trump are false, adding that Trump’s warming of relations with Arab states in the Middle East won’t sideline Israel.
He says he spoke with Trump and with US Vice President JD Vance in recent days and was assured that America has Israel’s back.
“Let me give you some details that perhaps haven’t been made public. A few days ago — I think around 10 days ago, maybe a little more — I spoke on the phone with President Trump. And he said to me, literally: ‘Bibi, I want you to know — I have absolute commitment to you. I have absolute commitment to the State of Israel.’
“Just a few days ago, I spoke with Vice President Vance. He said to me… ‘Listen, don’t pay attention to all these fake news spins about this rupture between us… He said: It’s all spin. This isn’t the truth, you know it’s not true, and I’m telling you, from our side, it’s not true.'”
“We’re coordinated with the [Trump] administration,” continues Netanyahu, “We speak with each other. We respect their interests, and they respect ours — and they overlap. I won’t tell you they align completely — obviously not — but they align almost completely.”
The two allies want to ensure that Iran cannot get the bomb and that Hamas is booted out of Gaza, he says. And “we want to ensure that Trump’s plan” for Gaza comes to fruition, he adds. “It’s a brilliant plan,” he says, that truly can bring change not only here… but can change the face of the Middle East. Change once and for all what we have been through from Gaza for decades.”
Netanyahu also expresses his support for Trump’s objectives of tightening relations with Gulf nations in the Middle East, demonstrated by his visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates last week, saying Trump’s moves may serve Israel by facilitating more Abraham Accords normalization agreements.
“I have no objection to the United States deepening its ties in the Arab world. That’s absolutely fine. And I’ll tell you even more — I believe that can actually help expand the Abraham Accords, which I’m very invested in. I’m interested in that.”
During the roughly two-and-a-half years in which he and Trump prepared the Abraham Accords, says Netanyahu, Gulf states were speaking very harshly about Israel.
“But beneath the surface, something very different was happening. And I think there’s a possibility that this could happen again. I would be very happy if it does, because it’s one of my goals,” he says.
“I’ve always wanted to expand the circle of peace, to extend a hand to our friends and push away the sword of our enemies. I’m very determined in this, and I’m focused on it.”
