Netanyahu vows to rally united response to Iran in the UK and US
Tel Aviv — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he would emphasise the need for a united international response to Iran’s ballistic missile tests when he meets with UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday, just days ahead of his White House visit with US President Donald Trump. "On the diplomatic front, my emphasis will be on assembling a partnership against Iran’s defiant aggression, which has raised its head in recent days," Netanyahu told cabinet ministers at their weekly meeting in Jerusalem, according to a text message from his office. Netanyahu was scheduled to leave for London on Sunday to meet with May and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. They will also discuss strengthening security, trade and technology ties between Israel and the UK, he said. The Israeli leader said last week that Iran would be at the top of his agenda when he meets Trump on February 15.
