"For example, in the letter sent by the Palestinian representative, he presented the story of Hamdi Shaker Abu Daya, who supposedly was shot and killed. But what he 'forgot' to mention is that Hamdi is a terrorist who shot at soldiers just before he was killed and a day after he opened fire on an Israeli bus. The vast majority of the dead The Palestinians are not innocent citizens. This may have been the deadliest year, but only for Palestinian terrorists. From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, 5,434 terrorist attacks were carried out against Israelis. 481 Israelis were injured and 31 were killed," Erdan said.
