Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu emerged from his meeting with US President Barack Obama Monday saying that Israel must have the ability always to defend itself, by itself, against any threat,” Netanyahu said sitting alongside Obama before their closed-door consultations. “Israel has the right, the sovereign right, to make its own decisions and if necessary, defend itself, by itself.”Netanyahu said that Israel’s very purpose was to restore to the Jewish people control over their destiny and that he as prime minister would “ensure that Israel remains the master of its fate.”
“Our commitment to the security of Israel is rock solid,” Obama said, echoing his remarks from his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Sunday night. “The United States will always be at Israel’s back when it comes to Israel’s security.”
