Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) has responded to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's threat of starting a religious war over allowing Jews to enter the Temple Mount.
"Abu Mazen [another name for Mahmoud Abbas] and his people continue with their lies and incitement. His accusations give a green light to murderers and terrorists, sometimes even children, to go out and attack," said Hotovely. "The blood of the wounded and dead civilians are on his hands."
