The Prime Minister's Office clarified Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments against the protesters: "When the Prime Minister said that the protesters are connected to the PLO and Iran, he was referring to the fact that while the Prime Minister of Israel was representing the State of Israel at the UN, they, Israeli citizens, would be demonstrating alongside PLO and BDS supporters - something that has never happened.''
"It is to be hoped that the Israeli demonstrators will take at least a few minutes to demonstrate against those who deny the State of Israel's right to exist", it was reported.
