Renewed violence between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs has its roots in the latter's humiliation and desperation after decades of occupation, Palestinian foreign minister Riad Al-Maliki said Monday, according to AFP.
Al-Maliki pointed to ongoing Israeli "occupation of Judea and Samaria," which began in 1967, saying Palestinian Arabs born under it have seen nothing "but humiliation, soldiers' check-points, deaths and killing".
"They are born without any hope for the future... that's why sometimes they (teenage assailants) decide to sacrifice their lives even at the age of 15... for the better lives of the rest of the Palestinians," Al-Maliki said during a press conference.
