MK Michael Oren (Kulanu) met on Tuesday with Palestinian Authority representative Elias Zananiri, the deputy chairman of the Palestinian Committee for Interaction with the Israeli Society at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
A statement released by the university following the meeting explained that “Both expressed their sorrow at the participation of children and youth in terrorist attacks, and Zananiri condemned what he described as the execution of a Palestinian youth who had brandished a knife after she had already been neutralized at Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market yesterday. Dr. Oren objected to the use of the term ‘execution’ and stressed that the Israeli public supports the security forces acting to protect the people of Israel, even from a young woman carrying a knife.”
