Ya'alon: Palestinians' UN bid requires Israel to take unilateral measures

Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya'alon accused the Palestinians of avoiding negotiations by turning to the UN for recognition, saying that the measure aims "to scare Israel into making concessions."

Ya'alon, who spoke while touring the Ramat Hovav Industrial Zone, claimed that "Since the Palestinians are violating the Oslo Accords and choosing a unilateral path, it requires Israel to take unilateral measures as well." (Attila Somfalvi and Ilana Curiel)
