Tehran, YJC. Saeb Erekat has likened the Israeli MP to ISIL leader.

Saeb Erekat, Member of the Palestinian Parliament for Jericho, said that the Israeli Prime Minister is much like Abubakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the terrorist group of Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Erekat, also a member of the Palestinian Authority negotiation team in the UN, said in answer to Jerusalem Post reporter’s question of the differences between the two leaders "Netanyahu is the one who dipped the bodies of a 16-year-old Palestinian youth in gasoline and burned him alive; while Baghdadi also beheads foreign reporters and Iraqi and Syrian youth.”

In the same fashion that Baghdadi has trespassed the religion despite the fact that he considers himself Muslim, Netanyahu has trespassed Juish human principles, he said.

"No matter what religion is at stake, extremism is always blind,” Erekat added.
