Netanyahu said to give German FM ultimatum over meeting left-wing groups
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly given visiting German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel an ultimatum over planned meetings with left-wing NGOs.
Channel 2 reports that the prime minister told Gabriel that if he meets with Breaking the Silence and the human rights watchdog B’Tselem, he won’t be able to meet with Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has reportedly not yet received a response from the Germans.
The ultimatum comes following an incident in February, when the prime minister asked visiting Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to stop supporting Israeli groups he considers damaging to the country.
The next day Michel met with both groups.
