Deputy defense minister slams Tel Aviv mayor over terrorism comments
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan slams Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai as “delusional” after the latter says terror will continue as long as there is an occupation in the West Bank.
“I heard the mayor of Tel Aviv, who explains that we suffer from terror because we haven’t achieved peace with the Palestinians. This crazy claim, it’s time we rightists tell the leftists that they’re delusional,” Ben-Dahan, of the Jewish Home party, says this afternoon.
Earlier in the day, Huldai, long affiliated with the Labor party, tells Army Radio that the only way to end terror conclusively is by achieving peace.
“You can’t keep holding people in a state of occupation and think they’ll be convinced that everything is okay,” he says of the Palestinians.
