President Isaac Herzog calls Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ahead of this week’s Eid al-Adha holiday, his office says.

Herzog stresses the need to fight terrorism and incitement, after a string of deadly attacks on Israelis in the West Bank.

Herzog also condemns vigilante attacks by Israelis on innocent Palestinians in the wake of several attacks on Palestinian villages over the last week.
