“As you are aware, over the weekend Hamas returned the bodies of the Bibas family and we received confirmation that they were murdered in cold blood, by Hamas monsters, with their bare hands. Todays Deputy Minister Haskel’s comments on the murder of the Bibas family. 

Initially, Hamas returned a coffin containing a body that wasn’t Shiri Bibas.

Gazan civilians brought their children to watch the terrorists parade Israeli coffins - reminiscent of some sort of evil, medieval punishment.

What sort of savages kill innocent babies and their mum and then parade their coffins in public? 

This is truly disgusting savagery. 

I send my profound condolences to the Bibas family. May the memory of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir be a blessing. 

I am today attending the funeral of Oded Lifshitz, may his memory be a blessing.”

 

*Deputy Minister Haskel’s comments regarding the Israel-E.U. Association Council Meeting in Brussels between Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar and E.U. foreign ministers:*

 

“For the first time in years, the Israel-E.U. Association Council Meeting convened. This is the highest forum for managing Israel-E.U. relations, reinforcing Israel’s strategic partnership with the E.U., Israel’s largest trading partner.

We urged the E.U. to take action against the Palestinian Authority’s “Pay-for-Slay” policy, ensuring that E.U. funds do not support payments to terrorists and their families. As Abu Mazen declared last week even till our last dime we will continue to pay the prisoners.”

 

 

*Deputy Minister Haskel’s comments regarding Ramadan:*

 

“Israel remains committed to ensuring freedom of worship for all faiths. Access will be maintained to the Temple Mount for Muslim worship during Ramadan, based on the same guidelines as in every other year, despite Hamas, Iran  and other terror groups spreading false claims to incite violence.”

 

 

*BBC propaganda film controversy:* 

 

“A propaganda film about Gaza has been removed by the BBC after it was shown that the narrator at the centre of the film was the son of a senior Hamas official. Any information coming from Gaza is unreliable and must always be taken with a grain of salt. There must be a thorough investigation into this saga.”
