ROUGH CUT (no reporter narration)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday (November 18) that the Jerusalem synagogue killings, along with a spate of other recent attacks, was part of a "battle over Jerusalem" and accused Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of inciting violence in the city.
"As a nation we will settle the score with every terrorist and their dispatchers, and we have proved we will do so, but no one must take the law into their own hands, even if spirits are riled and blood is boiling. We are in a long campaign in a war against terrorism that hasn't started today, it accompanies us throughout the Zionism. We always overcame it and we will this time as well. There are some who want to uproot us from our state and capital. They will not succeed. We are in a battle over Jerusalem our eternal capital," Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks.
