Netanyahu Ready to Meet With Abbas ‘Anytime’
Benjamin NetanyahuIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit out at an Arab Israeli lawmaker’s defiance Wednesday of a ban on visits by members of parliament to the highly sensitive Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem.
The Israeli military said that soldiers had approached two Palestinians they found acting suspiciously at a junction near a Jewish settlement.
He reiterated his vow made in his speech last month at the UN General Assembly in New York, that the Palestinians would not continue to be bound unilaterally by the Oslo Accords.
Turning to recent remarks by Netanyahu, Abbas said, “When the Israeli Prime Minister tries to absolve Adolf Hitler from his ugly crimes, against the Jews, and blame Palestinians for these crimes, he is trying thereby to justify the crimes committed against the Palestinian people”.
Salah was ordered to present himself to prison officers on November 15. Israel has vehemently denied the claim. Numerous Palestinian attacks on Israelis are now occurring in the West Bank, rather than in Jerusalem where they started.
As Palestinians continued their bloody spate of knife attacks on Jews, the United Nations on October 28 warned the violence was headed toward “catastrophe”.
Of the three Palestinians that were shot dead on Tuesday, one stabbed an Israeli soldier in the neck and another was killed while attempting a stabbing attack, the army said.
The slain Palestinians were later identified as 17-year-old Shabaan Abu Shkeidem, and 22-year-old Shadi Nabil Abd al-Muti Dweik, both of whom came from al-Khalil.

In a press release, the rights group stated it had documented at the very least 4 instances through which Palestinians had been intentionally shot dead with out posing an imminent menace, “in what seem to have been extrajudicial executions”. “Instead, propose solutions that will contribute in a real way…to the improvement of life… and to the safety and security of Israelis”.
While Israel has repeatedly said there are no plans to change this status quo, the Palestinian fears have been stoked by growing numbers of Jewish visitors, backed by a few senior Israeli officials, who seek prayer rights and an expanded presence on the mount.
Late Tuesday evening, Hammam Said, 23, reportedly attempted to stab an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint in Tel Rumeida and was shot dead by Israeli forces.
His son Micah Avni Lakin said he had been a big fan of social media, where young Palestinians have incited attacks, uploading videos and sharing the hashtag #Jerusalemintifada.
Before he died Lakin’s family put his name on a petition of 20,000 Israelis backing a lawsuit an Israeli NGO filed against Facebook for failing to remove pages that encourage the killing of Jews.
