Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, welcomed the decision of the German parliament to define the boycott movement against Israel as anti-Semitic.
"This is a crushing victory for the truth", said Danon, "and a great achievement in the struggle against Israel's detractors".
Danon added that "Germany proved to BDS supporters that its lies do not go unnoticed, but will pay a price".
"I congratulate the German parliamentarians who took part in passing this historic decision", Danon continued, "and call on the rest of the world leaders to join Germany, and work towards shaping a future without hatred against Jews and against Israel."
