Jerusalem – Netanyahu: Jerusalem Terror Attack The Result Of Abbas And His Hamas Partners’ Incitement

Jerusalem – Speaking at the annual state remembrance ceremony honoring the slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the premier condemned the vehicular terrorist attack which killed a Border Police officer.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday denounced Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “and his partners in Hamas” for “incitement” which was “directly responsible” for the terrorist attacks that have rocked Jerusalem in the past few weeks.

Speaking at the annual state remembrance ceremony honoring the slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the premier condemned the vehicular terrorist attack which killed a Border Police officer and injured over a dozen others.

Netanyahu praised Rabin as a leader who “understood the centrality of Israel’s security” and lamented “the terrible, historic trauma” of his assassination 19 years ago.

In his remarks, the premier said that “there has been no change in Palestinian society toward acceptance of the Jewish people’s right to its own state.”

President Reuven Rivlin spoke prior to Netanyahu, saying that Rabin was steadfast in his determination to keep Jerusalem united.

Speaking at the state ceremony honoring the slain premier at his grave site on Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem, Rivlin condemned the vehicular terrorist attack which took place just hours earlier in the capital.
