The director general of the National Union, Yehuda Wald, commented on the death of senior PA official Saeb Erekat.
"Erekat was a supporter of terrorism (the murderer of Minister Zeevi and others), spread blood libels against the IDF (the Jenin massacre), worked for the right of return of the Palestinians that endangers our existence, worked for the boycott of the state, for continued violence and occupation of our country. His life was dedicated to war against the State of Israel. He is an enemy. When he died, there was less evil in the world," he said.
