Likud MK: 'Close Palestinian shops, prevent the next attack'

Foreign Affairs and Security Committee member and chairman of World Likud MK Dan Danon visited the Israel National News studio in Jerusalem to comment on the criticism surrounding the transfer of military hardware to the Palestinian Authority and the explicit denial by the Prime Minister.

"The Palestinian Authority must not be trusted with anything. It is clear to us that if a gun or a bullet goes to them, we do not know where it will go. Therefore, I think the Prime Minister made it clear that we are not transferring any weapons to the Palestinian Authority. Right now, it is about transferring armored vehicles, a decision that was made during the time of the previous government, and I also assume that there is American pressure. The Likud government will not pass a single bullet into the hands of the Palestinian Authority," says Danon.

He adds, "We have seen the limited ability of the Palestinians to fight terrorism, and there have been many cases where police officers from within the Palestinian Authority have carried out attacks. That is why we say that we will only rely on ourselves." READ MORE
