Member of Knesset Ofer Shelah, chairman of the Yesh Atid Knesset faction and a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, has responded to a report that Israel supplies weapons to Myanmar by saying, "The reports that Israel is supplying weapons to Myanmar, while its government is committing genocide against the Rohingyas, are shameful to all of us."
Shelah said, "Statements such as the one made by the deputy consul in New York to a delegation of Jewish rabbis that 'both sides are committing war crimes,' shames us no less." He stressed, "The solution is clear: if we're doing this, stop immediately. And if not, announce publicly that there is no basis to the news and it's a wild defamation of Israel. Everything else, every stutter and excuse, perpetuates the shame and weakens our security."
