Netanyahu is correct. He is the prime minister and is well aware of the history of jihad against the Jews and Israel.
Yet the bind that Netanyahu finds himself in is that Israel is a tiny nation standing on the front lines of the defense against the global jihad. It is so isolated internationally that when it is threatened with the withholding of funds or other assistance, Israel is placed in an extremely difficult position. It is practically an impossible position, particularly given the global antisemitic gang-up against Israel.
In May 2024, Netanyahu said that Israel “will stand alone” if it has to, after the Biden government threatened a halt in its weapons delivery.
“‘We will determine our fate’: Netanyahu declares Israel needs no approval to strike its enemies,” WION, October 26, 2025:
Under the ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump between Israel and Hamas, a coalition of mainly Arab and Muslim powers is expected to deploy troops in the war-torn territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (Oct 26) declared that his country would seek no approval to strike targets in Gaza or Lebanon, despite the ceasefire in effect. The statement comes after a visit by several top US officials, who are seeking to consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza. Netanyahu also said that Israel alone would decide which countries it would allow to join the international security force in Gaza.
“Israel is an independent state. We will defend ourselves by our own means, and we will continue to determine our fate,” Netanyahu told a meeting of government ministers. “We do not seek anyone’s approval for this. We control our security,” he said.
While Israel has withdrawn its forces to the so-called “Yellow Line”, it still remains in control of more than half the territory and approves every UN aid convoy going through its borders. Since the ceasefire, Israel has carried out at least two strikes in Gaza…..

Trump has set up Israel for great great tribulation with multi Arab forces in Gaza just 40 miles from Tel Aviv. Trump knows what he is doing for Satan.damn him
somehistory says
Uninvited guests to a party are not admitted inside the residence. Official gatherings at the WH, only allow those with written invitations.
It should be commonsense that Israel would decide just who might enter their nation and when, and how long anyone can stay.

Netanyahu must know and emphasize to President Trump that the Muslim Countries(eg. Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.) are Terrorist States against Israel, America, and all Non-Muslims as taught in islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). Muslims are NEVER friends to Jews and Christians as taught by Allah in the Quran(Quran 98:6-7; 5:51, etc.).
ALLAH claims MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.

The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rightly, declared “‘We will determine our fate … Israel needs no approval to strike its enemies,”
Netanyahu statement was well said, this is because it is the duty of any good government to ensure the safety security and lives of the people who are citizens of that nation. It’s a matter of basic self-defense.
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, had, wisely, in a speech had declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Walter Sieruk says
That hoax of a negotiated “peace deal” is foolishness and folly because it’s based on the false premise with is that the jihadist heads of Hamas can be trusted, maybe, to keep their word with the promises on the “peace agreement that they signed.
Hamas will not honor “peace deal agreement”. The Muslim terrorists of Hamas have no honor. The Muslim terrorists of Hamas will continue sneak into Israel from Gaza, and inflect murderous jihad attacks upon the Jewish people of Israel.
The reason why this is so is because those Muslim terrorists jihad malicious murderous jihad violence as observed in those horrendous jihad attacks of October 7th 2023 will continue because of the basic root ideology of Islamic terrorists is based on the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an. For the Qu ‘ran instructs in the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false, dangerous and deadly religion.

Very good. Although Turkey has the largest military in the region, no way must they be allowed to be a part of this force. Also, given the report about those Hamas fighters being found in Cairo 5-star hotels yesterday, I’m no longer sure that Egypt is acceptable either
Maybe fill them up w/ the forces of countries like Azerbaijan (Israel’s “ally” – let them do something other than harass Armenians), Indonesia, Emirates and Oman
Taffy says
Hopefully Israel at this juncture has set up its own internal manufacturing plant for bunker buster munitions. That is the weapon that was most needed by Israel that they did not make by themselves. Believe it or not, Obama in 2009 honored the Bush administration’s negotiations with Israel to supply bunker busting munitions, but that was only about 50 bombs, and Israel needed a lot more over the long haul. It was not until Trump‘s second term, did Israel get all the bunker busting bombs that they needed.
The reliability of the United States is uncertain at best, so Israel needs its own independent manufacturing base to make its weapons of war.
The United States does not appreciate how valuable it’s all alliance with Israel is. Israel, essentially by itself, removed Hizb’allah, Syria (a Russian satellite) and Iran as a world threat with minimal US involvement. The only thing that Israel cannot do on its own, was penetrate Iran’s underground nuclear facilities without sending in commandoes, a risky proposition.
Troybeam says
No approval to defend itself, gee whiz Israel just now waking up, you were so dumb not to rein hell on Gaza after the attack in Oct. 2023, Israel you could have ended this a lot sooner if you had just done that.
abu taleb says
In Islam, only muslims can attack and kill people, non muslims are not allowed to do the same to the muslims including for self defence or retaliation reasons..
