Jerusalem Affairs Minister Zeev Elkin slammed the organization Amnesty after it said it supported boycotting Jewish-owned businesses in Judea and Samaria.

"Instead of drawing the right conclusion that the multitude of Jewish heritage sites in Judea and Samaria teaches us about our roots and a deep connection of Judea and Samaria to the heart of Jewish history, Amnesty decided to engage in denial of the historical truth and act against Jewish heritage sites," said Elkin.
