Rivlin slams Arab leaders for ‘feeble’ response to Temple Mount attack
President Reuven Rivlin calls the response of Israel’s Arab leadership to Friday’s deadly attack on the Temple Mount, “feeble and outrageous.”
“The silence and feeble reactions of some of the Arab political leadership is outrageous. Terrorism must be condemned unconditionally,” he says, at the graduation ceremony of the National Security College.
“Anyone who doesn’t denounce terrorism, is cooperating with it,” he says.
Rivlin praises Jordan’s King Abudullah and PA President Abbas for condemning Friday’s attack in which two Israeli police officers were killed at the holy site.
