Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh claimed on Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces are intentionally spreading coronavirus to Palestinians, according to Israeli media reports.
Shtayyeh said that there have been “testimonies that some of the [Israeli] soldiers are trying to spread the virus on car handles,” according to Ynet. “This is racism and hatred of people who long for the death of the other. We will record this in the list of crimes [against Israel].”
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted in response that it was “Shameful that, in the midst of a global crisis, PM Mohammed Shtayyeh is blaming IDF soldiers for spreading #COVID19 in Palestinian territories. This #scapegoating is disgraceful & a modern version of blood libel, an age-old #antisemitic canard.”
He argued in a follow-up tweet that Shtayyeh’s comments are even more infuriating when considering that the Israelis and Palestinians have been collaborating on their responses to the coronavirus pandemic; United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority Nikolay Mladenov said in a March 28 statement that the partnership was “strong.”
