Israel's ambassador to Britain Zvi Heifetz on Monday expressed disappointment and anger over comments by a British parliamentary committee, which called to end the boycott of the extremist Palestinian Hamas.
"It is saddening that a UK Parliamentary Committee is suggesting rewarding an extremist group, committed to destroying any hope for peace in the Middle East, by granting it international legitimacy" said Heifetz in a statement released by the Israeli mission in London, Haaretz reported.
"The timing of the report is particularly unhelpful, coming just as the peace process is showing signs of renewed life. At this critical point in time, the international community has a moral obligation to continue its support for... [Palestinian Authority Chairman] Mahmoud Abbas, and those who wish to bring peace to the region."
