PM on fly-in: Our preparations proved themselves

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conveyed his thanks Israeli police for its successful handling of the pro-Palestinian fly-in at the Ben Gurion Airport. "The preparation of all elements involved, both operational and diplomatic, had proved itself," he said. "The world today has a better understanding of where the Middle East's true problems lie."
