President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines told President Reuven Rivlin, Thursday morning, "I have instructed my military men to buy weapons only from Israel," According to Channel 10 Television.
Duterte explained, "The United States is a good friend, but if we buy from it, there are limitations; also China and Germany.
