Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan responded Wednesday to the praise for the anti-Israel BDS movement posted by the Hamas terrorist organization.

"We salute and support the influential BDS Movement," Hamas wrote on its Twitter account.

"When a murderous terrorist organization such as Hamas salutes and supports BDS, it is a testimony to the nature of the boycott movement and its activists," Erdan said. "Tell me who your supporters are and I'll tell you who you are. Those who know where the ideology of the boycott activists comes from are not surprised [that they receive the support of a terrorist group]. Those who support BDS must understand who their partners are. Hamas and the boycott activists seek the destruction of the State of Israel, and we will continue fighting both of them with all our might until we achieve victory."
