In Israel and the Occupied Territories, Israel’s Vice-Prime Minister is coming under criticism for calling the prominent Israeli group Peace Now “a virus.” Moshe Yaalon was filmed making the remark at a public event last week.

Israeli Vice-Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon: “We are dealing again with a situation where the virus, which is Peace Now, and, if you will, the elite, their damage is very great. As far as I’m concerned, Jews should be permitted to live forever in all parts of Israel.”
