Dore Gold: Senior PA Officials Who Received Medical Treatment in Israel Know It Is Not an "Apartheid State"
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Israel Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday cited concerns Israel will soon be designated an apartheid state by international organizations. Dr. Dore Gold, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and a former Foreign Ministry director-general and Israeli envoy to the UN, responded: "The foreign minister must call on the head of the PA, Mahmoud Abbas, to cease his international efforts in violation of the Oslo Accords the PA is a signatory to and prevent him from acting against Israel in UN institutions." "Abbas, his senior ministers, and relatives have greatly enjoyed the past medical treatment they needed in Israel and received without prejudice, without regard to differences in religion, race or sex. So Israel, to their mind, was not an apartheid state." Gold added that Israel's top diplomat should also call on various organizations operating inside Israel that call for Israel to be designated an apartheid state to immediately halt activities the government has designated as hostile.
