Shin Bet: Abbas condemnation would help curb terror
Condemnation of terror attacks by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas would help to reduce incitement and therefore the level of violence against Israelis, Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman tells the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Haaretz quotes MKs present at the meeting as saying that Argaman believes that while Abbas and the PA do not support terror attacks, they have taken a politically hostile stance to Israel.
According to Israel National News, the Shin Bet chief also tells lawmakers that the decline in the number of attacks emanating from the West Bank is due to an increase in preventative measures.
