Israel: BDS a "Fringe Group"
(AFP) An Israeli foreign ministry official told AFP on Monday there was a crucial difference between the BDS movement and "European states and institutions that have problems with Israel's actions" in the West Bank. BDS was a "fringe group" that effectively "seeks to bring an end to Israel," the official said. Moves by European firms to disengage from Israeli companies with West Bank activities "could not be considered a boycott of Israel" since they continue to invest in the Jewish state, "only choosing in which firms."
