MK Eldad: President of Brazil Unwelcome in Israel
MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said Monday that "the president of Brazil who refuses to visit the tomb of Herzl yet declares his intention to visit Arafat's grave can not be welcome in Israel."
According to Eldad, "As the United States spits at us, trying to humiliate the Prime Minister of Israel, in order for Obama to get a drop of international recognition, we can not tolerate another spitting in our face by the president of Brazil.
"I call on the heads of state to avoid any meeting with the guest and offer him to use his extra time to extend his visit with the terrorist organizations in Ramallah," he added.
