PM's Office: Rabbi Yosef's comments do not reflect government's stance
None
Following Rabbi Yosef's controversial remarks against Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians, the Prime Minister's Office issued a statement saying, "These comments do not reflect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or the Israeli government's stance."
"Israel is engaging in negotiations out of a desire to reach an agreement with the Palestinian, which will put an end to the conflict and guarantee peace, security, and good neighborly relations between the two nations," the statement read. (Attila Somfalvi)
