Calling for a boycott of the area, Lieberman said: „I urge all citizens of the State of Israel to stop entering stores there, to stop buying and to stop receiving services. We should simply impose a boycott on them and let them feel unwanted here. I have never seen a protest in Wadi Ara with a single Israeli flag. I‘ve seen many Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Authority flags there, and I‘ve never seen a single State of Israel flag there.“
