MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud) responded to Palestinian threats regarding Jerusalem Day.

"Jerusalem Day and the flag parade are fixed parts of the calendar. We will not agree to accept dictates from terrorist organizations or any other source. The conflict between Hamas and Islamic Jihad should not interest Israel."

"Any threat to Israel must be met with strict countermeasures. Every attempt to harm Israel must be responded to in one way: the quick and immediate elimination of the heads of terrorism and their accursed organizations."
