This type of behavior, explained Marijnissen, “is connected also to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict” because those who carried out the attacks are probably coming “from a group of outraged people from the French suburbs”.

According to an Israeli indictment, Salah called for a new uprising against Israel in that sermon and accused Jews in Europe of mixing children’s blood in Passover matza, a false accusation known as the “blood libel”. “It will also be possible to seize all property belonging to the organization”, said a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
Interviewed separately by Israel’s Channel 10 TV, both men described the negotiations as serious and said a peace deal was achievable, underscoring just how much the region has changed in only a few years. That is what is doing the killing, the murder, the rape, the burning, the beheadings. Around 200,000 Jewish settler colonists now live in East Jerusalem alongside 370,000 Palestinians.
Arab Israelis make up about 20 percent of Israel’s population. The Palestinians say the violence stems from frustration over almost half a century of Israeli occupation.
The Israeli military said he then intentionally rammed his vehicle into a group of pedestrians. As Jewish Israelis enjoyed the holy site under heavy police protection, Israel enforced age restrictions on Muslims and clashed with those who had camped out in the mosque the night before to contest the Jewish tours.

The current round of violence erupted in mid-September over rumours that Israel was trying to expand the Jewish presence at Jerusalem’s holiest site.

“The very fact that the Shabak (Israeli intelligence service) didn’t support this decision to ban the movement taken by the cabinet emphasises the fact that it was a political decision made for internal purposes”. Without evidence, it cited an unnamed senior Israeli official as drawing a “clear operational link” between the Paris attacks, the suicide bombings in a predominantly Shi’ite suburb of Beirut on Thursday and the downing of a Russian airliner in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsular in October.
A pair of new mobile apps hope to help Palestinians navigate snarled traffic at Israeli checkpoints in the occupied West Bank, offering a high-tech response to constant and burdensome restrictions on movement.
