From Israel to the United Kingdom, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump drew a fresh series of rebukes from world leaders and citizens alike on Wednesday.
Less than 24-hours after Trump announced an end-of-year trip to Israel, the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, made known that he “rejects” the Republican presidential front-runner’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States.
“The State of Israel respects all religions and strictly guarantees the rights of all its citizens. At the same time, Israel is fighting against militant Islam that targets Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world,” Netanyahu said in a statement issued Wednesday by the prime minister’s office.
Trump on Monday called for a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the U.S., and his comments were quickly condemned by the Obama administration, members of Congress and his fellow GOP presidential contenders.
Despite Netanyahu’s statement, an Israeli official confirmed to ABC News that Trump will meet with the Israeli prime minister on Dec. 28 in Jerusalem.
