The outrageous statement by the chairman of the Palestinian Authority Abu Mazen that Israel has committed "50 holocausts to the Palestinian people" continues to evoke echoes, and has resulted in an exchange of blows in the Israeli political system as well. His relationship with the chairman of the Authority and for the fact that he brought him to his residence in Rosh Ha'Ain.

Gantz published a response in which he accused his critics of being "unfit to hold the wheel of power".

"Abu Mazen fights IDF soldiers in The Hague, and denies the Holocaust in Germany.

He must not be given legitimacy and certainly not invited to Rosh Ha'Ein," wrote Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked. "As Prime Minister, I did not agree to meet Abu Mazen, or advance any political negotiations with him, even in the face of domestic and foreign pressures," Bennett wrote. A Holocaust-denying "partner" , pursues our soldier in The Hague and pays salaries to terrorists - he is not a partner.

Gantz wrote in response: "Whoever does not send soldiers into battle, and who has no responsibility for the lives of Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers - would do well not to preach about meetings that prevented and are preventing the next war and bring about stability on the ground and political freedom of action.

" Thanks to the security coordination that takes place at the field levels , and by the heads of the security systems and by - there are many civilians and soldiers whose lives were saved.

Those who want to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the complex security and political reality - are not fit to hold the steering wheel of power and lead the State of Israel.

" "I intend to continue to conduct regional conduct in a responsible manner, especially vis-à-vis the Palestinians, for the sake of Israel's security and without political considerations."
