REPORT<\/a>: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that he rejects Donald Trump\u2019s call for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state of Israel respects all religion and strictly adheres to the rights of all its citizens,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, Israel is fighting radical Islam which is attacking Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world,\u201d Netanyahu added.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s office also revealed Wednesday that he is not cancelling his huddle with the GOP presidential front-runner later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prime Minister decided earlier this year on a uniform policy to agree to meet with all presidential candidates from either party who visit Israel and ask for a meeting,\u201d the Israeli leader\u2019s office said in a statement, according to The Times of Israel.
\n\u201cThis policy does not represent an endorsement of any candidate or his or her views,\u201d the statement continued. <\/p>\n

\u201cRather, it is an expression of the importance that Prime Minister Netanyahu attributes to the strong alliance between Israel and the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s office additionally confirmed it had scheduled Trump\u2019s visit before his controversial remarks on Muslims last Monday.<\/p>\n

It booked the meeting between both men two weeks ago, The Times of Israel said Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
