Netanyahu: In Europe, they blame Israel for terrorism
- 9 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday lamented the fact that not only is Israel blamed for the terror perpetrated against its citizens, it is also blamed for terror attacks in Europe.
"It's one thing that they blame us, rather than the terrorists, for the terror against us, but the greater absurd is that we are being blame for the terror against the French - or such was the impression from the comments made by Sweden's foreign minister this week," Netanyahu said.
Speaking at the annual remembrance ceremony for David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, which took place near his gravesite in the Negev kibbutz of Sde Boker, Netanyahu said Israel was "fighting terrorists as Ben-Gurion did during the reprisal operations."
