Minister of Tourism Yariv Levin (Likud) criticized PA President Mahmoud Abbas's speech at the United Nations General Assembly tonight (Wednesday).
"Abu Mazen [another name for Mahmoud Abbas] finally shattered the illusion of Oslo during his speech today," said Levin. "The Palestinians have long ago chosen the path of terror, and the Palestinian Authority has never been a solution but rather a problem. The speech was full of Abu Mazen's incitement, lies, and fantasies that will meet with one answer - that Zionism knew how to provide from its beginning, and it will strengthen the construction and the settlement throughout the Land of Israel. I call on the head of the opposition and the Leftist party heads to come to their senses and recognize that there has not been and will not be a true Palestinian partner for peace."
