LONDON: Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu was made to wait outside 10 Downing Street, ahead of his pressing talks with British premier Theresa May, on Tuesday.

According to details, Benjamin Netanyahu arrived on Tuesday to hold talks on a number of complex and important international issues such as a response to Iran and illegal Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian land.

However, before his formal meeting with Theresa May, the Israeli Prime Minister had to wait for an awkward 20 seconds as the door to the official residence of the British Prime Minister, the 10 Downing Street, was not opened. Netanyahu was clicked clasping his hands behind his back and rocking on the balls of his feet, as he waited for Theresa May to come out.

Awkward moment: When the door remained closed and Mr Netanyahu had to wait

10 Downing street cannot be opened from the outside but only from the inside. From behind the door, a policeman keeps watch over an array of CCTV cameras that show the whole street outside, for security purposes. Hence, Theresa May did come out and the two spoke to the media together.

Both Prime Ministers held discussions

While May avoided any strong words and urged for a two-state resolution to the Middle East crisis between Israel and Palestine, Netanyahu was comparatively blunt with his statements. He urged 'responsible nations' to follow Donald Trump's style of dealing with Iran.

"Iran seeks to annihilate Israel, it seeks to conquer the Middle East, it threatens Europe, it threatens the West, it threatens the world."

"And it offers provocation after provocation. That's why I welcome (US) President Trump's assistance of new sanctions against Iran, I think other nations should follow suit, certainly responsible nations. And I'd like to talk to you about how we can ensure that Iran's aggression does not go unanswered," said the Israeli Prime Minister.

May, while referring to UK as a 'close and strong friend of Israel' said, "Certainly we remain committed to a two-state solution as the best way of brokering stability and peace."

ahh first world and their etiquettes
It was a misunderstanding, as the Israel P.M came a few minutes earlier than planned .

Netanyahu forced to wait for May outside 10 Downing Street.

The unceremonious start to the first meeting between Netanyahu and British Prime Minister Theresa May occurred because the Israeli leader showed up a couple of minutes early, Army Radio quoted his aides saying.


Sources at 10 Downing Street told The Times of Israel that the glitch happens from time to time and everything was tickety-boo.

The minor snafu began as Netanyahu’s black SUV arrived at 10 Downing Street in central London just before noon on Monday. After exiting the car, the prime minister walked briskly to the door before turning around to wave.

He then continued toward the door, which remained shut, and was instead forced to stand and wave to journalists, as he waited for his date with May and tried to play it cool. All that was missing was the breath check.

PM of Israel

✔@IsraeliPM

PM Netanyahu to UK PM @Theresa_May: Thank you for your warm welcome. It reflects the strength of the partnership between Israel and Britain.
1:23 PM - 6 Feb 2017

After about 25 seconds that probably felt like an eternity, the door opened and Netanyahu was allowed inside.

He emerged with May about a minute later for the more traditional joint appearance.

An "awkward" 20 seconds... perhaps she was still in the loo?

Bibi is the biggest straight face liar ever.... Isreal had better PMs than this fellow

Thanks for the photos, yeah - those were indeed funny - to see Bibi loiter outside the closed door of No.10. I would imagine they'd brief No. 10 in advance as soon as his car was close. Very awkward.

The way the article was going, I thought they meant 20 minutes. Guess there wasn't any news so lets make drama out of nothing. :coffee:

This man is a tyrant. He deserves more than a 20 second wait. He should be imprisoned. He has the blood of innocents on his hands. Bloody murderer.

He is a reflection of that nation of occupiers. All Israelis are liars. That country's mere existence was built on a historical lie.
