The Palestinian government blames Israel “completely” for the new escalation of tension in Jerusalem

Jan. 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Palestinian Authority has held Israel “completely” responsible this Saturday for the new moment of tension that Jerusalem is going through after two attacks carried out by Palestinians, one of them a 13-year-old teenager, who have left at least seven Israeli civilians dead and twelve wounded.

“The Palestinian leadership holds the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the dangerous escalation that the situation has reached,” it said in a statement reiterating its condemnation of a previous raid by Israeli forces in the West Bank that failed. with nine Palestinians killed for a total of 31 deaths this month in operations by the Israeli security forces.

Palestinian leaders, in a statement published by the official WAFA news agency, “warn the occupation government not to continue this approach, which will lead to further deterioration, threatening security and stability throughout the region.”

The Palestinian Authority reaffirms the decisions adopted last Thursday in response to Israeli operations — among them, the total cessation of cooperation with Israel on security issues — and “calls on the international community and the US administration to force the Israeli occupation government to stop its unilateral actions” in the occupied Palestinian territory.
