Israeli Prime Minister and Author Benjamin Netanyahu took a shot at foreign interventions into Israeli democracy during an interview with Fox News that aired on Sunday.
“I’ve been elected six times democratically for a total of 16 years, and in all those years I never commented on internal debates in other democracies. I have chosen not to do that,” said the premier in response to a question from “Life, Liberty and Levin” host Mark Levin.
“Everyone has an opinion on Israel. They don’t have an opinion on the riots in France or the debates that happen inside other countries, you have a major debate between the Supreme Court and the executive right now in America, and I really don’t care to comment about it. People choose to comment about ours. It’s OK. We’ll make our own decisions. In sovereign states, sovereign democracies, the elected representatives of the people make the decisions, and that is how it is going to be in Israel,” said Netanyahu.
