Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army arrested the two Palestinian children Bahaa and Mus’ab al-Shawaheen, in al-Khalil’s southern town of Yatta, after they had been chased down and aggressively attacked by Israeli extremist settlers.
On Monday, responding to Abbas’s remarks to renew talks, Netanyahu invited Abbas to meet in Jerusalem “any day” this week, but the first order of business, the Israeli leader insisted, had to be ending Palestinian incitement.
“I’m inviting him again”, he said in English. “I will meet with him, at any time”.
Asked what became of the offer, Abbas said: “No, no”.
The bullet killed a Palestinian man, Palestinian doctors said on Sunday, as he lay wounded on the ground.
“I still extend a hand to Mr. Netanyahu because I believe in peace”.
“Our position is that Israel must recognise the two-state solution and stop settlement building”, he told AFP.
Once the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is solved, he said 57 Arab and Islamic countries would be ready to normalize relations with Israel in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002.
Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities. The prosecution initially said it was a murder investigation, but on Thursday prosecutors told a court they were looking into manslaughter charges.
“Such a conference would breathe new life into the stalled peace process, and ensure the implementation of United Nations resolutions”, said Hamdallah, adding that, “The final aim of the conference is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital”.

“And nobody will dare to go and stab or shoot or do anything here or there”.
