Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan lashes out over the UN draft on settlements due to be voted on this evening, calling it a new height of “hypocrisy.”

“The Egyptian proposal represents a new record in the hypocrisy of the United Nations,” Erdan says, according to the Walla news website.

“Boycotts of any kind only harm the tens of thousands of Palestinian workers who make a living in the joint [West Bank] industrial zones, as well as efforts to revive the peace process,” he says. “Those who truly support peace must reject this decision and every contemptible effort to promote a boycott against Israel via the United Nations.”
