MK Tzipi Livni responded to statements made on Wednesday by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and said that “The role of all leaders at this time is to pour water over the flames, not fuel. Abbas cannot say one day that he opposes violence and the next day encourage it.”
According to Livni, Abbas “Needs to know that he is sending the next ‘Palestinian’ with a knife to his death, because we will continue and act against anyone who raises a knife to an Israeli citizen, and we will not accept any comparison between a terrorist who attempts to attack, and those who attempt to fight terror.”
