Minister says terror attack a ‘direct result’ of PA incitement
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan blames “incitement” by the Palestinian Authority for the stabbing terror attack in Jerusalem.
“This afternoon’s terror attack in Jerusalem is a direct result of the ongoing incitement to terror by the PA and Fatah, which is working with Hamas to instigate violence,” says Erdan in a statement. “Abu Mazen [PA President Abbas] continues to demonstrate that he is not a true partner for peace, and now that he has established a unity government with Hamas, he is responsible for Hamas’ murderous incitement as well.”
“I am praying for the quick recovery of the security guard who was wounded in the attack,” he adds.
Both Fatah and Hamas have urged Palestinians to protest the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
