Israeli politicians on Wednesday evening condemned the speech by Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, in which he accused Israel of "executing" a 13-year-old Palestinian teenager - one of two teenage Arab terrorists who carried out a brutal stabbing spree in Jerusalem on Monday.
Minister Ze'ev Elkin, a member of the Cabinet, reacted to the speech and said, "In his speech of blood libel and wild incitement tonight, Abbas proved once again that the primary responsibility for the wave of incitement and false blood libels which gave rise to the current wave of terror is on the Palestinian Authority and Abbas personally."
"In light of these serious remarks I plan to work with all my strength to implement what I suggested long ago, to persuade the prime minister and cabinet to extract personal and political prices from Abbas and his friends for their support of terrorism. The chief instigator of terrorism should be treated as a terrorist himself," Elkin continued.
