Netanyahu Blames Muslim Immigration for Europe’s Anti-Israel Policies

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returns to his argument that European countries are turning against Israel because of their large Muslim populations.

“I don’t want to say that Europe was conquered by unchecked immigration,” he says. “But to a large extent, politically, it’s happening.”

“It’s a process of decades, that we at least, I made sure to build a barrier,” he says, referring to the fence on the Egyptian border that was built starting in 2010. “The fence between Africa and Israel.”

If he hadn’t done that, Netanyahu claims, at least 1 million Muslims would have entered, and it would have been the end of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
