Netanyahu bans al-Aqsa visits from ministers to ease tensions

The group met Feltman because Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is traveling. He says Israel will overcome the spike in violence and pursue the perpetrators.

First, the price of rifles and pistols have skyrocketed in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).

As I said in a contribution to Press TV’s news in English, only the future will give us the answer to that question. In the video of two of the recent killings, an Arab shopkeeper in Jerusalem’s Old City is seen calmly drinking his can of Coca-Cola while his Arab brethren kill Jews.

Since Sunday, a 13-year-old and an 18-year-old have been among three Palestinians killed in clashes with Israeli forces.

Israeli Arab lawmaker Jamal Zahalke, chairman of the United Arab faction, made straight for Temple Mount, only to be stopped by police at Lions Gate (the scene of two fatal stabbing attacks against Israelis) and barred entry.

Spokeswoman Luba Samri said the attacker stabbed a 14-year-old Israeli in central Jerusalem before running away.

The screwdriver-wielding assailant, a Palestinian from east Jerusalem, stabbed and wounded four Israelis, including a female soldier, near a busy Tel Aviv road, before being shot dead, the police said.

Based on recommendation from Israel’s National Security Council, Netanyahu’s original decision on Wednesday applied only to Jewish Knesset members in an effort to reduce provocation in the volatile area of Jerusalem’s Old City. Police closed off the intersection where the attack took place.

“One advantage that Israel has is that there are quite a few ex-members of military units with operational combat experience,” explained Barkat, who served as a paratrooper in the IDF for six years.

More bloodshed, he warned, will only lead to more hatred on both sides, and offer no solution in the long run.

Zeid Raad al-Hussein said in a statement issued in Geneva on Thursday that he is “deeply concerned at the increasing number of reported attacks” by both Israeli settlers and Palestinians.

The effect of this Israeli strategy plus the failure of the major powers to do anything to try to cause Israel to end its defiance of global law and denial of justice for the Palestinians is that more and more Palestinians are being driven to total despair.

Arab Israelis are the descendants of Palestinians who remained after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 and hold Israeli citizenship.

Abbas insisted the Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation.

The fact that Eitam was the son of Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbanit Chana Henkin, two prominent former Americans, hit home harder for those who know and admire the senior Henkins and their work.

The unrest is largely linked to Muslim agitation over Jewish access to a contested holy site in Jerusalem.

Israeli police have arrested 270 citizens, including 145 minors, in Jerusalem since 13 September, on charges of disturbing public security and throwing stones at Israeli police vehicles. That’s why virtually every Arab now can stage his own terrorist attack.

But she said Facebook, as a rule, urged people “to use our reporting tools if they find content that they believe violates our standards so we can investigate and take swift action”. Medical services say the victim was lightly wounded.
