Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz speaks to EU ambassadors in Israel
JNS.org – Outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Wednesday called for continued cooperation with Ramallah, speaking during a phone call with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.
According to a statement from Gantz’s office, he emphasized “the important ties” with the PA and said “it is critical to maintain an open channel of communication and [security] coordination.”
Gantz also told Abbas that the Palestinians’ ongoing effort to delegitimize Israel in international fora would “harm the Palestinian people and further alienate any political process.”
Earlier Wednesday, Abbas’ spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said the incoming Israeli government’s policy agenda constituted a “dangerous escalation.” He issued a veiled warning that there would be ongoing violence unless a Palestinian state was created, according to the official Palestinian Wafa news agency.
Abu Rudeineh called on the Biden administration “to turn its words into deeds since it is committed to the two-state solution, without which there will be no stability in the region.”
