(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning (Monday, 15 December 2014),
left for Rome where he will meet with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi
and US Secretary of State John Kerry. Before boarding his plane, the Prime
Minister made the following remarks:

"In recent years we have rebuffed recurrent attempts to dictate conditions
to us that would have harmed Israel's security and which are incompatible
with genuine peace. This time as we will we will not accept attempts to
dictate to us unilateral moves on a limited timetable. In the reality in
which Islamic terrorism is reaching out to all corners of the globe, we will
rebuff any attempt that would put this terrorism inside our home, inside the
State of Israel. I will make this unequivocally clear. We will stand firm in
the face of any diktat."
