Erdan: We will respond to UN with ‘construction in every part of Jerusalem’
Minister of Strategic Affairs and Public Security Gilad Erdan responds to the UN vote on Jerusalem:
“The historic connection between Israel and Jerusalem is stronger than any vote by the “United Nations”- nations who are united only by their fear and their refusal to recognize the simple truth that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the Jewish people,” he says.
“While the US has recognized this simple truth, the UN has chosen once again to resort to lies and to ignore the reality that has existed for 70 years. Our response to the UN campaign by Abu Mazen and his supporters against the US and Israel will be to strengthen our sovereignty, security, and construction in every part of Jerusalem,” Erdan adds. “The Palestinians can threaten and the UN can vote- we will continue to build and strengthen our capital Jerusalem.”
