Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu responded to US President Barack Obama's criticism of
his policies which lead, according to Obama, to Israel's near-total
isolation. "Everyone understands that only Israeli citizens will decide
the true representative of Israel's interests," the prime minister said during a visit at the Gaza border.
"Over the last four years we have withstood enormous
pressures: They wanted us to restrain our efforts on the Iran issue, to
withdraw to the 1967 lines, to divide Jerusalem and cease construction
in it. We have held back those pressures," Netanyahu added.
