Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: If the challenge is a security challenge, then Hamas is obviously a far more serious threat. But if the challenge is the arena of international legitimacy, then look at the damage the Palestinian Authority causes us. Look at the damage being done to Israel through the Palestinian Authority's diplomatic and legal campaigns. There are proceedings against Israel in international courts. There are arrest warrants sought against Israeli leaders. There are boycott campaigns and efforts to isolate Israel internationally. The Palestinian Authority causes enormous damage to the State of Israel in the international arena.
