Netanyahu avoids contacts with Western leaders to prevent him from attacking Iran

The official Israeli Broadcasting Authority said, on Monday, that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is avoiding contact with Western leaders to avoid pressure on their part to prevent a response to Iran’s response, which it carried out in retaliation for Tel Aviv targeting one of its diplomatic buildings in Damascus at the beginning of this month..

According to the commission, Netanyahu refused to receive calls from foreign leaders, fearing that they would put pressure on Israel to avoid responding to the Iranian response, which it carried out in retaliation for Tel Aviv targeting one of its diplomatic buildings in Damascus at the beginning of this month..

According to the commission, a large number of international leaders and leaders (it did not name them) who support “Israel’s right to defend itself,” sought to speak to Netanyahu, but the latter’s office did not respond to their request..

The commission stated that the reason behind this was that Netanyahu “did not want a direct confrontation with these leaders, who would have asked him not to respond to Iran, and that the situation should not escalate into a regional war.”“.

With the exception of his call on Saturday with US President Joe Biden, Netanyahu refused to make other calls with leaders of countries who wanted to speak with him, according to the same source..

The broadcaster said that it had asked Netanyahu’s office, but did not receive a response regarding his refusal to receive calls from foreign leaders.
