    I love how reporting things like this generates downvotes on the topic even though OP took the time to paste actual screenshots proving it to be true.

      those statements don’t prove anything, they just express his opinion on why those Arab states shouldn’t be considered countries, which is disputed by the overwhelming number of other countries who recognize those governments.

      Israel does have a problem that a good chunk of their neighbors deny their right to exist. I’m not smart enough to know how to solve the problem, but I do know the solution is not “No, U”.

        Whether or not he proves anything is irrelevant. This is a minister of a country coming out and saying other countries don’t technically exist because he thinks so (and his logic is pretty dam stupid as well). It’s a pretty ridiculous and weird stance to take.
