During the media presence at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning 28 Adar thanks British Prime Minister May for her country amending its position in the recent UN vote against Israel.

“Last Friday I spoke with British Prime Minister Theresa May. I sent her condolences, on behalf of the Government and People of Israel, to the families of those who were murdered and, of course, my wishes for a recovery for those who were wounded. I told her that we in Israel have stood against car-ramming and stabbing attacks and we understand that the terrorism that is striking us is the terrorism that is striking London, Brussels, Nice and other places around the world. This is the terrorism of radical Islam that calls for concerted action everywhere in order to defeat it. We will defeat it much quicker if we work together.

I also thanked her for the intention, which was indeed realized, several hours later in the Human Rights Council, such this strange UN agency is called, on changing Britain’s vote, and much more importantly, for the important speech by British representatives. What was said there, that if bias against Israel in that body continues, than Britain will consistently oppose all decisions. I think that this is an important sign that we would like to encourage the international community to follow. We think that the time has come to begin changing the distorted attitude toward Israel in international bodies.
