Congressional panel condemns PA for incitement to violence
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe House Foreign Affairs Committee in the US Congress unanimously passes a resolution condemning the Palestinian for incitement to violence.
“The escalation of violence against Israelis is praised, encouraged, and even fueled by Palestinian Authority officials. This resolution rightly condemns this incitement and the outbreak of violence, and expresses support for those who are working to encourage peace and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians,” committee chairman Ed Royce (R) says upon passage of the resolution.
The bipartisan resolution was written by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R).
On top of condemning the PA, the resolution also calls on the State Department to “monitor and publish information on all official incitement by the Palestinian Authority against Jews and the State of Israel.”
