Science Minister Ofir Akunis (Likud) met on Monday with the Czech Republic’s Foreign Minister, who is currently visiting Israel.
Akunis told his guest that “Mahmoud Abbas is responsible for the violence in our region, as he incites youths against Israel. In this situation, I do not see how talks can be held.”
The Science Minister thanked the Czech Foreign Minister for the government in Prague’s resistance to the EU’s ‘product labeling’ initiative. “Europe’s problem is not Israel, but rather the tens of terror cells that have been active in the country in recent years.”
