Israel's ambassador to the United Nations demanded on Thursday that the world body sharply censure the Palestinian Authority's intent to name a street for Hamas terrorist Yachya Ayash, whose nickname was "The Engineer". Ayash is believed to be behind suicide bombings that caused the deaths of about 90 Israelis before the Shin Bet Israel security agency killed him with a booby-trapped cell phone in 1996
In a letter to the UN's Secretary for political matters, Professor Gabriella Shalev wrote that the PA had committed itself to refrain from any sort of incitement against Israel. That would include glorifying a terrorist.
