PM: Despite efforts, Palestinians acting against economic peace
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a Likud faction meeting, "The Palestinians have made efforts to block us from being accepted into the OECD despite the proximity talks and a number of gestures we have made towards them."
"Israel strives for economic peace. We have removed checkpoints; we have made life easier; we are always taking action to advance the Palestinian economic. Despite all this, the Palestinian side is opposed to economic peace and is take steps that ultimately hurt them. This also refers to the economic boycott they are spearheading and the pollution of our water sources," said Netanyahu. (Attila Somfalvi)
