Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon thanked European countries on Saturday for their help and cooperation in preventing hundreds of provocateurs from arriving in the "fly-in" demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian Authority. Speaking at an event in Tel Aviv, the Yisrael Beiteinu lawmaker said, "It was proven again that - contrary to the accepted view in certain circles - Israel is not isolated and is a respected society in the international community."
Ayalon continued, "No country would allow harm to its sovereignty and laws, not be local lawbreakers and definitely not be foreigners."
