President Mahmoud Abbas’s Office has strongly condemned the murder of five Palestinians early today morning by the Israeli occupation forces in Jerusalem and Jenin, and held the Israeli government fully responsible for the escalation.
“These crimes are the latest in a series of [Israeli] violations and field executions against our people. The continuation of this policy will lead to an explosion of the situation and to more tension and instability,” said the President’s Office in a statement.
The Presidency urged the international community to take action to stop the escalation by holding war criminals to account.
