Army: 2 Palestinians killed after stabbing Israeli soldier

Donald Trump evaded specific questions about whether Palestinian demands in peace negotiations are legitimate and whether Israel should be allowed to build settlements in the West Bank without restrictions, though he said the Israeli housing projects were a “huge sticking point” in talks.

The sources said the soldiers held the bodies of the two dead Palestinians and refused to hand them over to their families.

“The forces responded, shooting the attacker and resulting in his death”.

The soldier suffered moderate wounds.

Two of the soldiers were injured, while the Palestinian driver was shot dead, said Israeli police spokesperson Luba Samri.

The father of Ragheb Alawi, a Palestinian accused of masterminding the killing of a Jewish Israeli settler couple on October 1, looks at the remain’s of his son’s house the day after it was destroyed by Israeli authorities in the West Bank city of Nablus early yesterday.

On Wednesday Israel destroyed the home of a Palestinian who carried out a deadly car-ramming attack past year, sparking clashes in the east Jerusalem neighbourhood where he had lived.

The army said ‘Arabiya “was shot dead after opening fire on Israeli soldiers, wounding one”, at a junction in Hizma town, after the army invaded the town. He said he planned to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a trip to Israel “sometime after Christmas, probably”. The Israeli government and by extension most of Israel’s supporters in the USA don’t consider the West Bank and East Jerusalem to be occupied territory.

It is unusual for Palestinian security agents to be implicated in such attacks.

Meanwhile, an Israeli vehicle travelling near the West Bank city of Ramallah was hit by gunfire late on Thursday, the army said.

More than half of the Palestinians have been alleged assailants. “Four months have passed since the arson attack against the Dawabsha family”, he said in a statement.

The officer was hospitalised with a light stab wound and a wound to the leg from a bullet fired errantly by one of his colleagues, a police spokeswoman said.

Palestinians have repeatedly claimed that Israel’s delay in making arrests in the arson reflected what they see as an unfair justice system that moves swiftly in finding Palestinian suspects in violence.

He did slightly soften his tone, arguing Israel has a “public relations” problem: “Israel has given a lot but hasn’t been given a lot of credit for what they’ve given”, he said.

Mike Huckabee says he wants to be on record rejecting the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – a position that puts him to the right even of many in the Republican presidential race.

She said Jerusalem would appeal to Russians who normally go to Turkey for its history and Christian holy sites.
