Information Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud) responded Tuesday morning to Mahmoud Abbas' call to sue Great Britain over the Balfour Declaration:
"Abu Mazen's speech sounds crazy. However, the direction isn't happenstance: This is the opening shot of year 2017, the 100 year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, and 50 years after the success of the Six Day War," wrote Erdan on Twitter.
He added: "The Palestinian leader stopped being interested in peace long ago. His only purpose is to undermine the legitimacy of Israel, and it's important that we all understand this, unite, and act together to explain this to the world."
