Abbas demands ‘international protection’ after Palestinian killed in clash
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe office of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls for “immediate international protection” after a Palestinian was shot dead by an Israeli in the West Bank who, according to the Israeli army, was defending a group of Jewish children from a group of Palestinians attacking them.
The statement from Abbas’s office says the shooting was “conclusive proof for the whole world of the level of the ugliness of crimes carried out by settlers against the innocent Palestinian people.”
The IDF says a group of Israeli settlers, mostly children, came under attack outside the Palestinian village of Qusra in the northern West Bank on Thursday, prompting their security guard to fire into the crowd of Palestinians, killing 48-year-old Mahmoud Za’al Odeh.
