The Israeli minister proposed to arrest Abbas in case of recognition of Palestine

If Palestine is recognized by the United Nations (UN), it is necessary to eliminate high-ranking representatives of the Palestinian National Authority and arrest its leader Mahmoud Abbas. This was announced on November 17 by Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir.

"If the UN recognizes the Palestinian state, then it is necessary to order the targeted liquidation of senior representatives of the Palestinian authority who are terrorists in all respects, as well as to order the arrest of Mahmoud Abbas. A punishment cell in the Kciot prison is ready for him," the message on the Telegram channel says.

The minister called the Palestinians a "fictional people" and claimed that they seek to establish a state in Israel. According to him, the discussion on the establishment of the State of Palestine may intensify against the background of the resolution that the United States intends to submit to the UN Security Council (SC) for consideration.
