Netanyahu seeks solutions for PA 'incitement' of terror
- 9 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to raise the problem of Palestinian "incitement" at Sunday's cabinet meeting, and to seek solutions to the problem from Israel's security and intelligence agencies.
Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed Palestinian leaders' rhetoric of delegitimization of Israel lies at the root of ongoing terrorism against Israelis.
According to a Saturday statement from the Prime Minister's Office, he has ordered security officials to come up with measures to combat anti-Israel messages and incitement, including from Israel's own Islamic Movement group.
While some, including senior IDF intelligence analysts, insist PA President Mahmoud Abbas has worked to calm tensions and head off the latest wave of violence, Netanyahu has continued to place the blame for encouraging the terror attacks squarely on the PA's shoulders.
He has pointed at Abbas's claims about Israeli plans to divide the Temple Mount as attempts to stoke the violence.
Abbas's Fatah party has also been at the forefront - at least rhetorically - of praising recent terror attacks.
