Meretz Chairwoman Zehava Galon commented on the anouncement of the Palestinian reconciliation deal and slammed Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
"Netanyahu pushed President Abbas into Hamas' arms and now he is asking him to choose between Israel and Hamas. This is an unreasonable demand which contradicts the Israeli interest." According to Galon the agreement is essential "as long as Hamas is committed to the future agreement with Israel." (Moran Azulay)
