Palestinian who rammed vehicle into policeman is shot

On Wednesday, Israeli media reported that Eisenkot’s family members were deeply disturbed by the footage, not only seeing their beloved grandmother hurt but also because no one rushed to help an injured old lady.

The 37-acre (15 -hectare) site has been at the heart of the current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Netanyahu’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his warning on the eve of Israeli elections in March that “masses” of Arabs were coming out to vote, diminished European good will toward the Jewish state and its receptiveness to Israeli complaints, the diplomat said.

With the attacks migrating away from traditional hotspots to the Israeli heartland, it is becoming increasingly hard for average Israelis to look away.

The tensions erupted in mid-September over conflicting claims to a sensitive Jerusalem holy site and have since spread to the rest of the country.

The formula Israeli unilateralists generally support includes a pullback to lines approximating those Israel held before the 1967 Middle East war. “Jerusalem is Arab”, says a status. Ayalon estimates that more than 30,000 would move to sovereign Israel “within days” if compensated.

“We the Palestinians are not flawless”, Abbas replied, “but these things need to be discussed as a whole”. “We won’t repeat the mistake of Gaza, the military will remain in place up to the Jordan River, and exit only under an accord”.

The army also carried out almost 100 raids into Palestinian communities in the West Bank, including 14 in Jerusalem, during that same period. He doesn’t propose ceding land.

She highlighted the mob attack two weeks ago on an Eritrean asylum seeker, initially thought to be a Palestinian attacker. Polls consistently show a majority of Israelis still believing in the need for a two-state solution, but often on terms the Palestinians have been unwilling to accept. Violence from Gaza after Israel’s pullout only fueled the skepticism over peace prospects.

But even if Abbas were to take a more dovish tack, says Elias Zananiri, deputy chairman of the PLO Committee for Interaction with Israeli Society, there’s little he could do to stop the violence. He is likely from an east Jerusalem neighborhood, especially Jabel Mukaber or Sur Baher, or the Hebron area. “Israeli law enforcement officials should investigate this incident and take appropriate legal action against those responsible for creating and disseminating this photo”, said Carole Nuriel, acting director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Israel office. Forty-four of those are considered by Israel to be assailants, while the rest have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops.

Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency says that before his arrest, Allan “was in contact with an Islamic Jihad terrorist” with the aim of carrying out large-scale attacks. “I’m not saying that rules out a final accord”.
