PLO: Bennett's remarks a 'call for terrorism'

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.
