During Netanyahu’s phone call with Abbas, the prime minister told Abbas that the perpetrators of the arson in the village of Duma “are terror groups, we will arrest them and put them to trial,” Palestinian officials tell the Times of Israel.

Officials further say that the Palestinian leadership is expected to convene tonight and will likely make a decision on turning to the UN’s Security Council in a demand to condemn Israel for the killing of the Dawabsha family’s baby and for construction in the settlements.
