British Prime Minister Theresa May is hosting her Israeli counterpart in Downing Street, with Benjamin Netanyahu saying that “responsible” countries should follow US President Donald Trump in imposing new sanctions against Iran.
The meeting got off to an awkward start when Netanyahu arrived at the door of No. 10 on Monday to find no one there to greet him.
While waiting outside, the Israeli premier grabbed the opportunity to criticize Iran.
“We face challenges, that’s very clear, from militant Islam and especially from Iran. Iran seeks to annihilate Israel, it seeks to conquer the Middle East, it threatens Europe, it threatens the West, it threatens the world. And it offers provocation after provocation,” Netanyahu told reporters.
“That’s why I welcome President Trump’s assistance of new sanctions against Iran, I think other nations should follow suit, certainly responsible nations,” he added.
