Speaking on the Palestinian Authority’s TV channel on Aug. 13, Fatah Central Committee member Jibril Rajoub addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Education Minister Naftali Bennett, saying: “You are criminals! You are neo-Nazis!”
Rajoub said that the Palestinian people is “at the most dangerous phase in [its] history, since the Nakba of 1948,” and that “the [Israeli] right, supported by the U.S. administration, wants to erase Palestine.”

We Palestinians must realize the scope of the dangers threatening our cause. The [Israeli] right, supported by the U.S. administration, wants to erase Palestine.
