During a recent cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will determine its own course of action in response to Iran's weekend attacks. Netanyahu's statement followed discussions with the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom and Germany, as well as a conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Expressing gratitude for the support received from international allies, Netanyahu made it clear that while he values their suggestions and advice, Israel will ultimately make decisions independently to ensure its defense.
Focus on Gaza Rehabilitation
In addition to addressing the Iran situation, Netanyahu also announced plans to allocate approximately $5 billion for the rehabilitation of settlements surrounding Gaza. This investment will cover various aspects such as housing, infrastructure, education, employment, and healthcare.
Netanyahu's remarks underscored Israel's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents in these areas and countering the threats posed by groups like Hamas. He emphasized that while Hamas seeks to destabilize Israel, the government is determined to strengthen its presence and security in the region.
