Bennett to Abbas: "Go to the UN - I'll buy you a ticket""

April 4, 2014   

At a regional toast with Jewish Home activists, held this evening in the central region, the party's chairman, Minister Naftali Bennett, addressed the political issue at hand - the Palestinian Authority's appeal to the UN. "We are now in quite dramatic times in the political field," he said. "Two weeks ago, Abu Mazen said: 'I will never agree to talk about recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish state.' Many claim: 'What does it matter, I need him to define me?' It is clear that we do not need him to define me. He does not define anything. But the meaning is that he first wants the State of Palestine in one pocket, and then he wants to signal that he is the master and leader of the Arabs of Israel, and then the struggle for a small Israel within the Green Line begins." Bennett chose to respond cynically to Abu Mazen's threat regarding the appeal to the UN: "Abu Mazen has found a method: If you don't give me things - I will stop talking to you, I will go to the UN. From here we say: Go to the UN - I will buy you a plane ticket. What will hurt you at the UN is a personal lawsuit for committing war crimes. Abu Mazen finances terrorist activity from Gaza every month with PA tax money. Right now he is financing pensions for Palestinian murderers. He is talking about referring her to The Hague. A person who has terrorist butter on his head would not go outside in 40-degree heat, because it would explode in his face." At the end of his remarks, the minister promised that they are working to create a package and coalition of actions and organizations so that even if the referral is not canceled - beyond all sanctions, even in the international field, the entire PA leadership will be under the international, legal and political guidance of Israel.
