Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely has criticized French President Francois Hollande's contention that the two-state solution for Middle East peace is endangered by terrorists and "settlements", calling it "morally twisted".
Hotovely explained, "While Israel adds life by building, Palestinian terrorism sanctifies the death of the innocent. Those who do not condemn terrorism and equates it to settlements is pulling the rug out from underneath the international struggle against radical Islamic terrorism."
