“The more we promote matters vis-à-vis the Palestinians bilaterally, the better.  The Palestinians also know that in order to get something, they have to work with us, and not through all kinds of international platforms […] Israel’s policy of separating between [perpetrators of] terrorism and the rest of the population and enabling the continued employment of the Palestinians, instead of imposing a closure on them, is working effectively.” (Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon during a tour of the West Bank, 19/04/2016)
