Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai ruffled feathers yesterday, after suggesting that the Palestinian terror attack at the Sarona Market plaza in the city was linked to Israel's occupation of the Palestinian people, the Times of Israel website reports today (June 10, 2016).
Speaking on Army Radio a day after the attack at the Max Brenner cafe -- which claimed the lives of four Israelis -- Huldai said Israel was "maybe the only country in which another people is under occupation and in which these people have no rights."
"Our leaders through the years have said that the lands [on which settlements are built] are the basis on which a future [Palestinian] state can be built. The problem is when there is no terror, there are no discussions, and when there are talks, we say there can't be terror attacks," he added.
A change in the the situation will come only when Israel will show its neighbors that it has true intentions of reaching a peace deal, the mayor argued.
