Netanyahu meets with UK Jewish leaders

In London to mark the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with British Jewish leaders.

Accompanied by his wife, Sara Netanyahu, Culture Minister Miri Regev, and Israel’s Ambassador to the UK Mark Regev, the prime minister meets with British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and the head of the Board of Deputies of British Jews Jonathan Arkush, among others.

Netanyahu praises the British prime minister’s speech on Thursday night, during which Theresa May said she would “absolutely not” apologize for the landmark 1917 document seen as a key milestone in the establishment of the State of Israel.

“I thought Theresa May gave a tremendous speech,” says Netanyahu, noting the “intertwined” histories of Israel and Britain.
