""I heard Abbas praise terrorists and pay them according to the severity of the murders they committed against Israelis. I heard Abbas say that the Palestinians educate their children for peace as well. Unfortunately, that is simply not true," Netanyahu noted.
Netanyahu referred to the passing of Rabbi Benny Alon, the late: "At the end of the week, former Minister Benny Alon, the late, passed away. On behalf of the Israeli government, I would like to send condolences to Eman, their children, and the entire Alon family. Benny loved the Land of Israel, the State of Israel, and the heritage of Israel and did much for them. Benny also worked to strengthen ties with Christians who love Israel around the world.".
""I would like to convey the condolences of the entire government and also mine to Minister Aryeh Deri on the death of his mother, the late Esther. We share in his grief and the grief of the entire Deri family.".
