Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely says that European countries must condemn PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s speech yesterday, in which he said Israel was a European “colonial project.”
“Abu Mazen’s speech is a resounding slap in the face to the international community, especially the Europeans,” Hotovely tells Emanuele Giaufret, the EU’s envoy to Israel, using Abbas’s nickname.
“The Palestinians can’t continue to fund terror and request [the] embrace and support from the Europeans by demanding unilateral recognition,” she adds.
