Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin told United Nations Deputy Secretary General Asha-Rose Migiro Sunday morning that Israel was responsible for its own safety, and would act accordingly. “Anyone who tries to impose 'facts' on Israel will achieve the opposite of their aims,” he said.

Rivlin told Migiro, who is in the region to meet top security and political officials, said that “only Israel will decide its fate, via the Knesset, as we have done in the past.”
