Netanyahu: Israel will prevail
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Israelis and details steps taken to counter the outburst of terrorism in Jerusalem and elsewhere.
He says Israel’s opponents will learn that “terror doesn’t pay” and that Israel is “here to stay, forever.”
Netanyahu calls on Mahmoud Abbas to stop “lying” about Israel’s actions. He claims the PA president is inciting by misrepresenting incidents in recent days, pointing to a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who stabbed Israelis in Jerusalem and was then filmed bleeding on the ground. Palestinians, he said, were circulating the video and claiming the boy was a martyr killed in cold blood while omitting the context — that he had first attacked and gravely wounded an Israeli boy his age — and the fact that the boy lived and was treated by Israeli medics.
