Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party issues a scathing response to former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo’s assertion that Israel’s policies in the West Bank amount to “apartheid.”

“We firmly condemn the shameful and false remark by Tamir Pardo,” Likud says in a statement. “The IDF acts morally to defend Israeli citizens while preventing harm to innocents. Hospitals in Israel treat Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians. Arabs and Jews study and work together in Israel

“Instead of defending Israel and the IDF, Pardo is slandering Israel. Pardo, shame on you.”
