PM to Dutch MPs: Palestinians won’t accept Israel’s existence-In Holland, Netanyahu says Europe protected by Jewish state’s self-defense; is snubbed by pro-Palestinian lawmaker at meet-and-greet-By Times of Israel staff September 7, 2016, 4:13 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out Wednesday at the Palestinian Authority, telling reporters during a state visit to the Netherlands that the PA celebrated terror and refused to recognize Israel.“The Palestinians want Acre, Jaffa and Tel Aviv,” he said, according to quotes reported by Israel National News and confirmed by Netanyahu’s spokesman. “The Palestinians and [PA President Mahmoud] Abbas won’t agree to the existence of Israel. The Palestinians celebrate murderous terror around the world, and in Israel they name their streets after murderers,” he said.While Abbas has refused Netanyahu’s demand to publicly recognize Israel as a Jewish state, the PA has recognized Israel’s existence and backs a peace deal based on a two-state solution. Abbas has refused to engage in talks, however, until Israel ceases all building over the Green Line, including in Jerusalem, and releases the last group of Palestinian prisoners whose release was part of the 2014 talks between Israel and the PA.Netanyahu also said settlements were not the cause of the conflict, but rather the fact there was an Israel at all.“Their problem is not the West Bank, it’s our very existence,” he insisted.Netanyahu met Wednesday with senior Dutch politicians, including Dutch Senate President Ankie Broekers-Knol, House of Representatives Speaker Khadija Arib and members of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.He told the lawmakers that “in many respects” Israel’s defense of itself was a defense of Europe, too.“Israel doesn’t only protect itself, but also protects Europe,” he said. “Israel is the most stable actor in the Middle East and the most stabilizing force in the Middle East.”House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Angelien Eijsink concluded the meeting by saying the close relations between the two countries were based on shared values, according to a statement from Netanyahu’s office.As Netanyahu greeted a group of Dutch lawmakers after the meeting, one parliament member refused to shake the Israeli leader’s hand.And here is video of the incident.

17:14-Widow of man killed in garage collapse says no money for funeral-The family of Oleg Yakubov, one of three construction workers killed in Monday’s Tel Aviv garage collapse, say his body is being held in the hospital as they do not have money for a funeral.Yakubov, 60, immigrated from Uzbekistan to Israel 18 years ago, and lived in the working class Hatikvah neighborhood of Tel Aviv.His widow Glina tells the Walla news site the family was told it needs to come with NIS 40,000 to pay for a burial plot.“Where is the money? We don’t have it,” she says.She tells the site that Oleg would always work so they had money, but they were always poor. While the two did not have kids together, they had children from a previous marriage, including a son who has been in a coma in a Tel Aviv hospital for 12 years.“In any job he always worked hard with all his heart, for a tiny salary,” she says.Police say also killed in the collapse were Denis Diatzniko, 28, from Ukraine and Ihad Ajhaj, 34, from the Palestinian town of Bet Rima.16:57-Army says death toll in garage collapse remains at 3-The IDF’s spokesman’s unit denies a report by the Associated Press that the death toll in the collapsed Tel Aviv garage has risen to four.The AP reported earlier today that the army said the death toll had risen to four, though the report also said three remained trapped in the rubble.According to the army, three people were confirmed killed in the Monday collapse and three more workers remain buried under the garage, amid dwindling hope that hundreds of rescuers digging through the site will pull them out alive.— with Judah Ari Gross-16:53-Multitudes arrive for hajj amid Iranian anger at Saudi Arabia-Hundreds of thousands of Muslims are arriving in Saudi Arabia to participate in the annual hajj pilgrimage, which starts later this week.Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, meanwhile, is calling on the Muslim world to “punish” Saudi Arabia following last year’s hajj crush and stampede that killed over 2,400 people.Iranian pilgrims are not taking part in this year’s hajj, a ritual required of all able-bodied Muslims at least once in their life.Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quotes Rouhani lambasting Saudi Arabia’s response to the 2015 stampede in Mina by saying pilgrims lost their lives because Saudi authorities acted just as “bystanders rather than rescuing” those caught in the disaster.He says countries should “punish the government of Saudi Arabia in order to have a real hajj.”“The government of Saudi Arabia must be held accountable for this incident,” Rouhani says. “Unfortunately, this government has even refrained from a verbal apology to Muslims and Muslim countries.”16:47-Pence panders to Hebrew speakers-If Donald Trump supporters start wondering why their favorite vice presidential candidate is speaking in tongues, it may be because Mike Pence has embraced the language of Moses, novelist S.Y. and rapper The Shadow.According to a spokesperson for the Trump campaign in Israel, which has recently begun stumping for expat votes, Pence took the time to hold up some Hebrew-language campaign signs during a flight Tuesday while on the campaign trail.He also gave a shout out to the Israeli campaign team, likely in English.The governor of Indiana, Pence visited Israel in 2014, and is seen as strong supporter of the Jewish state.The statement does not say if Pence learned any Hebrew, but considering Donald Trump’s Tuesday prediction that Israel will be destroyed unless he’s elected he perhaps shouldn’t bother.Pence isn’t the first to pander to Jews by campaigning in their language.At the Democratic National Convention last month, Bill Clinton was spotted wearing a Hebrew Hillary button.16:29-Barkat jubilant after Czechs keep Jerusalem as capital in atlas, for now-A Czech statement that textbooks will not be altered immediately to show Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel is being celebrated by Jerusalem’s mayor as a victory.“Truth has indeed overcome lies: The Czech government has reversed its decision and Czech textbooks will correctly teach that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel,” Barkat crows in a statement to the press.Barkat’s reaction comes after Czech Education Minister Katerina Valachova said the ministry would not interfere with school atlases certified through 2017 that show Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, following reports that the ministry was seeking the books be changed, according to the Prague Daily Monitor.“Jerusalem is Israel’s capital from the viewpoint of the declaration of the country to which this relates, which means Israel,” Valachova told Czech radio, according to the report.It’s not clear if the books will keep Jerusalem as the capital beyond 2017. According to the report, the publisher is considering printing both as the capital with an explanation on the dispute.Barkat credits a letter he sent Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka and other diplomatic efforts for the apparent reversal.“I’m thankful to the Czech government for making the right choice and for refusing to surrender to Palestinian incitement and lies,” he says. “Future generations of Czech students will continue to learn the truth: Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and the heart and soul of the Jewish people.”15:35--Dutch lawmaker refuses to shake Netanyahu’s hand-Video shows Dutch parliamentarian Tunahan Kuzu refusing to shake Netanyahu’s hand as the prime minister works his way down a row of lawmakers in The Hague.And here is video of the incident.

He also urges Russia to take a more constructive role in Syria to arrange a lasting ceasefire.He cites progress the countries made together in the aftermath of the Cold War, but says Russia now “appears driven by misguided ambition and misplaced fear.”Carter is due to meet Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman during his trip to the UK.— AP-14:45--One dead from reported chlorine attack in Aleppo-An official in Syria’s rebel-held Aleppo says at least one person has died from a suspected chlorine attack reported a day earlier.Mohammed Abu Jaafar, head of the local forensic department in rebel-held Aleppo, said Wednesday 29-year old Mohammed Afifa died overnight of heart failure and acute respiratory distress caused by inhalation of toxic gas.Hamza al-Khatib, who heads an Aleppo medical center, said Afifa had been in intensive care following the suspected chlorine attack.Activists and rescuers said at least 70 people were treated for breathing difficulties after government helicopters dropped the suspected chlorine cylinders on al-Sukkari neighborhood.Accusations involving the use of chlorine and other poisonous gases are not uncommon in Syria’s civil war. The report could not be independently verified and it was not clear how it was determined that chlorine gas was released.— AP.
