Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday told the visiting British and German foreign ministers that Israel "will reserve the right to protect itself," his office said.
Netanyahu's comments to Britain's David Cameron and Germany's Annalena Baerbock came days after Iran carried out an unprecedented attack on Israel by launching hundreds of drones, missiles and ballistic missiles.
After meeting the two visiting diplomats, Netanyahu addressed the cabinet where he said that he had been given "all kinds of suggestions and advice" by the country's allies.
"However, I would also like to clarify: we will make our decisions ourselves," he said, according to a statement issued by his office.
