Netanyahu to meet US envoy in Germany who wants to ’empower’ European right

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will meet with US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell at Berlin’s airport later today.

He says Grenell requested the meeting.

Grenell sparked controversy after telling the right-wing Breitbart news site that he wants to “empower” right-wing politicians in Europe.

His comments were criticized by a number of European lawmakers and the German foreign ministry earlier today asked for a clarification of his remarks.
