Netanyahu thanks Likud lawmakers for backing at court
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is speaking to his Likud faction in his first public comments since he appeared in court on Sunday.
He thanks lawmakers for standing beside him, and castigates what he says is “fake news” accusing him of trying to use the support of a Holocaust survivor to score points.
“You strengthened me,” he says and receives a round of muted applause from party lawmakers.
Among other matters, he also doubles down on his promise to start annexing parts of the West Bank despite threats of consequences from international allies.
