She emphasizes that it is indeed a matter for the Israelis themselves, but adds:

For me, there is no doubt that Netanyahu poses a challenge today. You can see that we have a very, very hard time influencing what happens in Israel, she says in an interview with Jyllands-Posten.

Netanyahu is a problem in itself now.

Israel's security cabinet voted last week to expand its military offensive and take over Gaza City, which was met with strong international criticism and condemnation.

Frederiksen says that the Danish government believes that Israel has now gone too far, and points, among other things, to the new offensive and Israel's restrictions on emergency aid to the Gaza Strip.

We are one of the countries that want to increase the pressure on Israel, but we have not yet received support from EU members, she says.
