Minister of Science and Technology Ofir Akunis has responded to the words of Yonatan Ben Artzi to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his camp at the annual memorial service in memory of Ben Artzi's assassinated grandfather, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Akunis said, "Yonatan Ben-Artzi cynically used the state memorial service in memory of Prime Minister and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the prime minister of all of us, who was murdered by a wrongdoer 24 years ago. It is a pity that the grandson of Rabin - of blessed memory, did not learn from him what statesmanship is. The country is neither destroyed nor collapsed and the truth is not just on your side."
