PM Netanyahu Meets with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Speaks
with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Saturday, 19 July 2014),
met with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and told him at the start of
their meeting, "I don't think the international community should create any
kind of symmetry between a democracy legitimately acting in its own
self-defense trying to avoid civilian casualties and a terrorist
organization that deliberately targets millions of innocent civilians. I
know it's not the position of France and I think it shouldn't be the
position of anyone in the international community."

Prime Minister Netanyahu also spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper and told him about the missiles that were found at a UN school in
Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Hamas is hiding rockets in schools
and firing them at Israeli schools and noted that Hamas is using schools,
residences, mosques and hospitals in order to launch rockets at Israeli
civilians. He added that since Hamas is using innocent civilians as human
shields for its terrorist activities, it is responsible if civilians are
inadvertently hit.
