IDF to Palestinian outlet: Israel doesn’t want more violence

The head of the IDF’s civil administration in the territories, Yoav Mordechai, tells the Palestinian news agency Ma’an that Israel is not interested in an escalation of violence, but will respond emphatically to those who do engage in violent acts.

Mordechai says Israel will not impinge upon daily life for the Palestinian people and emphasizes that Israel does not intend to change the status quo at the al-Aqsa Mosque at the Temple Mount.
