Netanyahu: Terror Denier Abu Mazen Will Not Run Gaza

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sharply attacked the Palestinian Foreign Ministry today (Sunday) for denying the involvement of Hamas in the Re’im Party Massacre.

A statement issued by Netanyahu said “the Palestinian Foreign Ministry published a shocking statement today – it denied that Hamas committed the terrible massacre at the party in Re’im, and pegged it to Israel.”

We Will Not Allow the Ones Running the Civil Government in Gaza to Deny Terrorism

The Prime Minister condemned Abu Mazen and argued that he would not run the civil administration in Gaza on the day following Hamas’ elimination. “It’s not enough that Abu Mazen has refused to condemn the terrible massacre for 44 days, now his people are denying this massacre and turning the tables on Israel.” According to Netanyahu, “Holocaust denier Abu Mazen now also denies the massacre of Hamas-ISIS.”

According to Netanyahu, “I want to be clear – on the day after we eliminate Hamas, we will not allow the ones who run the civil administration in Gaza to deny terror, to support terror, to pay terror, and teach their children terror and the elimination of the State of Israel. This, we will not allow.”

Lapid: “Those who deny the massacre become a partner in the terrible crime themselves”

The Opposition Leader joined in on these condemnations. In a statement he put out, he said “I join the emphatic condemnation of Prime Minister Netanyahu of the contemptible and false statement of the Palestinian Foreign Ministry. Those who deny the massacre, become a partner themselves in the most terrible crime against the Jewish People since the Holocaust.”
