Benjamin Netanyahu claims not to remember the issue of settlement expansion coming up during his phone call with Stephen Harper.
Benjamin Netanyahu claims not to remember the issue of settlement expansion coming up during his phone call with Stephen Harper.
When the reporters accompanying the prime minister on the visit asked for his response to the news, his advisors said that it was Netanyahu who had last called Canadian PM Harper – not the other way around – in order to thank him for voting against the Palestinian bid at the UN last month.
Netanyahu’s entourage said that the conversation between the two did not deal at all with the E-1 question, and that Netanyahu “does not remember” that he spoke with Harper about the settlement issue.
