Denmark: Netanyahu is “a Problem in Himself”

Copenhagen: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “represents a problem in himself,” stressing her intention to use Denmark’s current presidency of the European Union to intensify pressure on “Israel.”

In an interview with the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, Frederiksen stated, “Netanyahu has become a problem in himself,” adding that his government “has crossed the line.”

According to Quds Press, the leader of the Social Democratic Party expressed regret over the “horrific and extremely catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza, also condemning a new plan to build settlement units in the occupied West Bank.

“We are among the countries willing to increase pressure on Israel, but we have not yet received support from EU member states,” she said.

Frederiksen explained that the goal is to impose “political pressure and sanctions, whether against settlers, ministers, or even Israel as a whole,” referring to potential trade restrictions or research-related sanctions.

Since October 7, 2023, and with U.S. backing, “Israel” has been carrying out genocide in Gaza involving killings, starvation, destruction, and displacement, while ignoring international appeals and International Court of Justice orders to halt such actions.
