Latest update 17:14 29.08.10
內塔尼亞胡自己與說這番話的沙斯黨精神領袖保持距離，他較早時說過所有巴勒斯坦人應該滅亡。
Netanyahu distances himself from remarks by Shas spiritual leader who said earlier that all Palestinians should perish.
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat on Sunday slammed remarks by the spiritual leader of Israel's leading ultra-Orthodox party, who said the Palestinians should "perish", saying that it was paramount to incitement to genocide.
巴勒斯坦首席談判代表埃雷卡特，週日抨擊以色列的領導超正統黨精神領袖所說的評論，它表示巴勒斯坦人應該“滅亡”，說它是至高無上的去煽動種族滅絕。

Erekat called on the Israeli government to denounce the remarks by Israel's former chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef, and to take action against racist remarks by other elected officials. He also criticized Israel for allowing the incident to pass without condemnation.
埃雷卡特呼籲以色列政府譴責以色列前首席拉比奧瓦迪亞優素福的言論，並由其他民選官員採取行動對付種族主義者的言論。他亦批評以色列允許事故的發生通過而沒有譴責。
Yosef had said during his weekly Shabbat sermon that the Palestinians, namely Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, should perish from the world. Yosef, a founder of the Shas Party, also described Palestinians as evil, bitter enemies of Israel.
優素福在他每週的安息日講道時曾說，巴勒斯坦人，即巴勒斯坦總統阿巴斯，應該從世界滅亡。沙斯黨的一位創始人優素福，亦形容巴勒斯坦人是邪惡的、苦澀的以色列敵人。
"All these evil people should perish from this world ... God should strike them with a plague, them and these Palestinians," Yosef had said.
“所有這些邪惡的人應該從這個世界滅亡 ...上帝要以瘟疫打擊他們，他們和這些巴勒斯坦人，”優素福說。
The 89-year-old is a respected religious scholar but is also known for vitriolic comments about Arabs, secular Jews, liberals, women and gays, among others.
這89歲的是一位受人尊敬的宗教學者，但亦是著名於對阿拉伯人、世俗猶太人、自由主義者、女性和同性戀者等等的尖酸評論。
"Is this how the Israeli government prepares its public for a peace agreement?" Erekat said, days before Israeli and Palestinian leaders were scheduled to meet in Washington for the launch of renewed direct peace negotiations.
"While the PLO is ready to resume negotiations in seriousness and good faith, a member of the Israeli government is calling for our destruction," Erekat said. "It is an insult to all our efforts to advance the negotiations process."
Erekat called on Israel "do more about peace and stop spreading hatred" and said Yosef's comments could be placed within the larger context of Israel's "policy against a Palestinian state" such as settlement expansion, home demolitions, among other things.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday distanced himself from Yosef's remarks, but stopped short of a condemnation. "Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's remarks do not reflect Netanyahu's views, nor do they reflect the stance of the Israeli government," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
"Israel plans to take part in peace negotiations out of a desire to advance toward a peace agreement with the Palestinians that will end the conflict and ensure peace, security and good neighborly relations between the two peoples," the statement continued.
Israeli Arab MK Jamal Zahalka, chair of the Balad Knesset faction, sent a letter to Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein, demanding that Yosef be investigated and tried for racist incitement and incitement to murder.
"Yosef's comments are especially dangerous because he keeps repeating himself again and again, so he must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," MK Zahalka said.
According to Zahalka, Yosef is not a minor public figure, but a spiritual leader whose religious edicts are adhered to by hundreds of thousands of followers, and his comments can be interpreted as permission to kill Palestinians.
Zahalka added, "If, heaven forbid, a Muslim spiritual leader were to make anti-Jewish comments of this sort, he would be arrested immediately."
MK Ahmed Tibi, chair of the United Arab List-Ta'al Knesset faction, also responded to Yosef's comments, saying that the rabbi "has long since turned into the biggest blasphemer, the evilest purveyor of hatred and killing, which are contrary to all religions."
MK Tibi called upon Yosef to reconsider his call for all evildoers to die, "because without realizing it, he is calling for his own death."
In the past, Israel has accused the Palestinian government of incitement against the Jewish state, including by naming streets after Palestinian militants.
在過去，以色列一直指責巴勒斯坦自治政府煽動反對猶太國，包括以巴勒斯坦武裝分子命名的街道。
The Palestinian Authority has dismissed such allegations, though U.S. President Barack Obama told Abbas earlier this year he needs to do more to halt incitement against Israel.
巴勒斯坦權力機構已駁回這些指控，儘管美國總統奧巴馬今年早些時候告訴阿巴斯，他需要做更多以停止反對以色列的煽動。
