Abbas says Israel carried out ‘extrajudicial killings’
In a special session at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on the violence in Israel, PA President Mahmoud Abbas accuses Israel of killing unarmed Palestinians.
“Our people’s angry upheaval and the recent successive events are the inevitable outcome of what we had previously warned of,” says Abbas.
The PA president says the Jewish state “recently escalated its criminal practices to the point where it performed extrajudicial killings against unarmed civilians and detaining their corpses, and persisted to terrorize our people with collective punishment.”
