ZF STATEMENT RE. OVADIA YOSEF'S REMARKS

The Zionist Federation of the United Kingdom & Ireland deplores the recent offensive remarks by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. 
 
The ZF supports direct negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and the position of the Israeli Government as formulated by the Prime Minister’s Office:  “Israel is going to the negotiations out of a desire to make progress with the Palestinians toward an agreement that will put an end to the conflict and ensure peace, security and good neighborly relations between the two peoples.”
