Bennett to foreign ambassadors: Diplomatic attacks on Israel help terrorism

Meeting with foreign ambassadors in Jerusalem, Jewish Home chair Naftali Bennett says that diplomatic attacks on Israel give support to terror.

“Those who use violence and terror draw confidence from statements and voting patterns of countries around the world,” he tells a special briefing to some 30 diplomats stationed in Israel.

“The fact that countries vote against recognizing Jerusalem is seen by terrorists as a sign their violent struggle against Israel is successful. Your nations’ calls against the declaration encourage the terror groups,” Bennett says. “Every statement against Jerusalem as Israel’s capital encourages Hamas and other terror groups and gives them the feeling their actions are justified.”
