Abbas to Israeli TV: Hebron shooting was inhuman

PA President Mahmoud Abbas tells Israeli television that the shooting of a disarmed Palestinian by an IDF soldier in Hebron was “inhuman.”

Speaking on Channel 2’s “Uvda” (Fact) program, Abbas says he opposes the stabbing attacks on Israelis. “At every opportunity we say that it is not allowed for us to escalate the situation,” he claims. “I don’t want the stabbings to continue.”

He concedes that there is incitement in the PA, but maintains that it exists in Israel as well.
