The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has called on the United States Government not to let the pro-Palestinian “mobs” that have been demonstrating in universities for weeks demanding a ceasefire mark the foreign policy of the White House and maintain its status. of “supreme global power”.

“Where is the United States going? Will it succumb to this madness, to these mobs in those universities, to this blatant anti-Semitism that is sweeping the world?” Netanyahu asked in an interview with American columnist Dan Senor, of which Israeli media have echoed it.

“The fate of the world depends on where the United States goes. I think that for the good of humanity, for the good of our common future, our common values, our civilization, it is very important that the United States retain its dominant position as a global power supreme,” he said.

In that sense, Netanyahu points out that the position of the United States as a hegemonic power is also being questioned as a way, he said, of attacking Israel, trying to draw a parallel between the situation in the Middle East and the criticism that Washington is receiving for its role in this crisis.

“These crowds, these mobs in American universities burn the Israeli flag and the American flag. They chant: ‘Death to Israel, death to the United States’. So we are fighting a common battle, a battle between civilization and barbarism,” he said. .

In this same interview, Netanyahu has once again warned that Israel will continue on its own with regard to the invasion of Rafah even without the support of its traditional allies, especially the United States, after announcing a moratorium on the handover. of weapons due to this incursion.

“If we have to be alone, we will be alone,” emphasized once again a Netanyahu who has warned that this tension between the United States and Israel does not help at all to the negotiations for the release of the few more hostages who remain in captivity. of Hamas nor the situation in the region for the better.
