Jerusalem (TPS) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an impromptu press conference, addressing the local and global wave of terrorist attacks, in the wake of the Brussels and Istanbul bombings and the ongoing attacks all over Israel.
The press conference was announced a mere two hours before being held and Netanyahu allowed time for questions from the press at the end of his opening address. This is the first time since the 2015 elections that Prime Minister Netanyahu held an open press conference allowing the press to present questions which were not pre-approved.
“Terrorism is not the result of frustration and disenfranchisement, it is the result of murderous ideologies. It doesn’t stem from desperation but from hope, a hope to establish an Islamic Caliphate in Europe and a hope to establish a Palestinian state instead of Israel,” said Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed hope for a renewal of the memorandum of agreement of the annual US military aid package to Israel, during his address to the 2016 AIPAC conference this morning.
“We’re now working on a new agreement to help bolster Israel’s security in the years to come,” said Netanyahu. “I hope we can conclude that agreement soon.”
The current memorandum of understanding expiring in 2017, provides Israel with approximately $3.1 billion annually, in military aid. Netanyahu’s Cabinet and the Obama Administration have yet to reach an agreement of the terms for a renewed agreement, however both sides have offered to increase the current amount of $3.1 billion.
