Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara departed on Wednesday for an official visit to London.

“I am heading now to meet with Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron,” Netanyahu said. “This visit follows tens of conversations I have had since the elections with prime ministers, presidents, foreign ministers... During these conversations I explained one thing: Europe must support Israel. Not to pressure, nor to attack Israel, but rather to support Israel, as Israel is the only true shield Europe has in the Middle East against extreme Islam.”
