He stated that there has been “a lot of misinformation and disinformation” surrounding a pending reconciliation agreement expected to be forged this week by Israel and Turkey.
The premier also addressed protest of the deal by the families of two IDF soldiers killed in the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, and whose bodies were never returned from Gaza.
On Saturday, the families of fallen Israeli soldiers Lt. Hadar Goldin and St.-Sgt. Oron Shaul charged that the looming agreement with Turkey, which houses Hamas operations and other Islamic terrorism, does not stipulate the return of their sons’ bodies.
“We are in constant contact with the families, and we will not rest until we return the boys home,” Netanyahu vowed, adding that Israel conducts constant efforts to retrieve their remains that are thought to be held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In the cabinet address, Netanyahu also lashed out at Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas over his recent “vile lies” about Israel and Judaism.
The prime minister criticized Abbas who “apologized, [or rather] meagerly half apologized ” Saturday over allegations he made at an address to the European Parliament last week that Israeli rabbis have promoted the poisoning of Palestinian wells.
Netanyahu, who linked the remarks to “blood libel,” said the PA leader’s speech “against proved to the world that he is not interested in direct negotiations with Israel”
