Itongadol.- Israel\’s two-fold answer to the Palestinians commemoration of Nakba Day is to continue building and developing the country, including Jerusalem, and to pass a Basic Law defining Israel as the nation-state of the Jews, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Thursday.
Netanyahu\’s comments came soon after returning from a four-day visit to Japan, as he was touring a new sports complex under construction in Jerusalem.
"Not far from here, in the Palestinian Authority, they are commemorating what they call the Nakba Day," Netanyahu said. "They are standing silent to mark the tragedy of the establishment of Israel, the state of the Jewish people."
Netanyahu said that Palestinians were educating their children with "endless propaganda" calling for the disappearance of Israel.
"We have many answers to that," he said. "The first is that we continue to build our country, and our united capital of Jerusalem," he said.
"And we will also give an additional answer to \’The Nakba\’ – we will pass the nationality law that makes absolutely clear to the world that Israel is the state of the Jewish people."
