In a recent media conference, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan addressed the recent controversy regarding the planned match between Israel and Argentina, which was cancelled by the latter. He explains how PA (Palestine Authority) official Jibril Rajoub used incitement to violence towards persuading the cancelation of the game.

Erdan continues, explaining he has called on Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to launch a criminal investigation against Rajoub for violating laws prohibiting incitement, and to prohibit him from entering Jerusalem and Har Habayis.
