In light of the apology and his expression of sorrow over Sharon's health, we will reconsider our decision. |
The government cannot do business with a man who said such a horrible thing about our ill prime minister. |
The minister has very strong views on this and cannot accept what was said. We reconsidered the deal and realized that we cannot sign with Robertson or anyone who supports his views. |
This is a very strong statement of the Israeli economy and the aviation market. |
Those that publicly support Ariel Sharon's recovery...are welcome to do business with us. |
We cannot accept these statements, and we will not sign any contracts with Mr. Robertson. |
We don't have a problem with the evangelical community. In fact, we regard them as the best friends of Israel. And they are most welcome in Israel and to do business with us. But we cannot sign a contract with Mr. Robertson. We plan to continue talking with the others, but not with him. |
We recognize that such a public apology is not an easy thing for anyone to do. We know also that Robertson is a friend and a strong supporter of Israel. |
We want to see who in the group supports his (Robertson's) statements. Those who support the statements cannot do business with us. Those that publicly support Ariel Sharon's recovery ... are welcome to do business with us. |
We were due to sign a contract in the near future with Mr. Roberson for the construction of a new Christian heritage center in the Galilee. |
We will not do business with him, only with other evangelicals who don't back these comments. |
We, as the State of Israel, cannot accept what he said and we will not do any business with him [Robertson] or with anyone else who agrees with his view. |
