The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, led by Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, views the statements of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as "a dangerous escalation and a call for the implementation of state-sponsored terrorism under the auspices of the occupation forces."
In a statement issued Monday, the PLO Executive Committee said, "The occupation government has a plan for settlement, seizure of Palestinian land and continued Judaization of Jerusalem." It warned against turning the conflict into a religious conflict that would affect the security and stability of the Middle East.
