Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan responds to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s UN speech, saying that only weeks ago the PA leader “defended Hitler and blamed the Jews for being massacred during the Holocaust.”
“Today,” Erdan says, “he stood at this podium and called the vicious Palestinian terror attacks ‘peaceful resistance.'”
“President Abbas proved today that he is not a partner for peace,” Erdan says, calling Abbas “irrelevant.”
