Statement of Israel at the Open Debate on the Situation in the Middle East, April 18, 2016

This year, we all participated in the sixtieth session of the Commission on the Status of Women. On International Women’s Day, official Palestinian Authority television called Dalal Mughrabi a role model for Palestinian women. For those who may not know or who may not remember, Dalal Mughrabi was a terrorist. In 1978, she hijacked an Israeli bus and murdered 38 innocent people, including 13 children. This is the woman the Palestinians have turned into a national symbol.
