Misezhnikov: PA boycott of OECD meeting hurting Palestinians too
None
Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov said that senior elements in the Palestinian Authority working to boycott the OECD conference in Jerusalem are "shooting themselves in the foot" since the meeting also supports owners of Palestinian businesses.
Misezhnikov addressed an earlier statement whereby holding the conference in Jerusalem constitutes recognition of the city as Israel's capital and stressed his statements were taken out of context. "The conference has no political connotation," he said. (Ronen Medzini)
