Netanyahu explained his refusal to send a delegation to Washington. He said this at a meeting with US Senator Rick Scott in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu insists that his move was "a message to Hamas: 'Don't bet on this pressure, it won't work' I hope they understand that," he said. The prime minister also added that the US decision not to veto the UN Security Council resolution was “very, very bad.” Earlier, the head of the US State Department press service, Matthew Miller, explained the words of US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
