Liberman: Ariel attack a ‘direct result of Palestinian incitement’

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says the deadly terror attack in Ariel earlier today is “the direct result of Palestinian incitement.

In an interview with Hadashot news, Liberman slams Palestinian media outlets for portraying the attacker as a hero, and says the Palestinian Authority’s practice of paying stipends to terrorists must end.

Liberman says the international community must pressure PA President Mahmoud Abbas to end the practice.

He adds that Hamas, the Palestinian terror group that rules the Gaza Strip, has invested $226 million in 2017 in tunnel infrastructure.
