Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) has commented on the removal of Israeli flags during yesterday's (Sunday) Haaretz conference.
"This is the vision of peace at the Haaretz conference in the US: to remove Israeli flags from the stage because of the demands of Saeb Erekat? It's another record in contempt and self-effacement. And with whom specifically does Erekat intend to make 'peace?' With Ahmed Tibi? We must see the reality as it is, to care about our national security interests - and that's all!"
