Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today (Sunday) at the start of a government meeting that he will fly to Washington tomorrow, where he will meet with President Donald Trump, and later attend the funeral ceremony of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Netanyahu told the ministers: "I will also speak with President Trump about all the issues on the agenda, including the situation in Iran.".
Referring to the situation in Judea and Samaria, Netanyahu said that the instructions given to the security forces are "to enter the villages, search them, seize weapons, arrest detainees.".
He added: "These things have been done and are being done right now," and noted that the forces also operated at the hospital in Nablus, where he said two aides who were hiding there were arrested.
The Prime Minister also noted that the home of the terrorist who carried out the attack has been sealed off for demolition and that the homes of the accomplices have also been mapped for steps to be taken against them. "We are also prepared to act more broadly against the nests of terror. The Minister of Defense will expand on this matter.".
Netanyahu continued his remarks by referring to the decision to dismiss the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
He said the decision revealed "his true motivation and the injustice and deep corruption that exists not only in the prosecutor's office, but also in the entire international court.".
Netanyahu said that he spoke last night with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "He reiterated to me the intention of the United States to act firmly against this organization, which endangers justice in the world and also endangers the right of democratic countries, sovereign countries, to exercise their sovereignty - and in essence tries to enslave their security to the decisions of corrupt officials in The Hague.".
""I think this is a very positive development, and I think it's important that we echo this around the world.".
