While speaking on Belgian radio station La Première, the Israeli ambassador to Belgium Simona Frankel called all Palestinians killed in Gaza “terrorists”.
“I regret the loss of life of any human being who has died, regardless of their nationality, even though they are terrorists, 55 terrorists who tried to cross the fence to enter Israeli territory,” she said.
La Première journalist Thomas Gadisseux interrupted Frankel: “The 55 Palestinians killed yesterday by the Israeli army are terrorists?”
“All of them,” Frankel replied.
“There were eight children [killed], including a baby,” the Belgian journalist noted. Monday's death toll currently stands at 60, according to the Gaza health ministry.
