I have said it many times, but it is worth repeating. “Israel has the right to defend itself, and how it does so is important,” he stressed.

Netanyahu made this statement shortly before his meeting with Harris with the president Joe Biden at the White House, and afterwards both leaders met with relatives of hostages still held by Hamas.
