Bennett calls on government to abandon Cairo talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn his remarks to the cabinet earlier on Friday, Minister of Economics and Trade Naftali Bennett calls on the government to abandon the talks in Cairo with Palestinian groups, saying the negotiations will only serve to empower Hamas. In that respect, oddly enough, he and left-wing Meretz party leader Zehava Gal-on agree.
He says Israel should not make a deal with a terrorist group, and calls for a unilateral opening of Israel’s borders with Gaza and the expansion of the offshore fishing zone.
