Danon: Palestinians Getting Coronavirus Aid from Israel Respond with Outrageous Claims
(Fox News) Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon - Israel has gone to great lengths and donated generously to protect Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza from the coronavirus pandemic, but our lifesaving assistance has been greeted by Palestinians spreading lies and inciting hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have been happy to accept professional medical training for Palestinians, thousands of coronavirus testing kits and protective gear, and over 200 tons of medical supplies, 50 tons of building materials, and a dozen tons of food to help Palestinians living in Gaza. Under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority is fabricating a false narrative about Israel that has taken on anti-Semitic undertones. The authority falsely accuses Israel of deliberately obstructing Palestinian efforts to combat the virus - but the exact opposite is true. The Palestinian Authority is far more interested in escalating its diplomatic warfare against Israel than in saving Palestinian lives. Goodwill should be a two-way street. Yet, while Israel extends an open hand of assistance to the Palestinians, our aid is accepted but greeted with clenched fists of rage and hatred. During a global pandemic, it is truly disgusting that Abbas and his corrupt leadership are focused on scoring cheap political points. It is clear that Israel is more concerned with the health and welfare of the Palestinian people than their supposed representative government, the Palestinian Authority.
