The Palestinians have rejected U.S. allegations of incitement after a day of clashes and attacks. They linked the violence to President Trump's Mideast initiative, which heavily favors Israel and would allow it to annex swaths of the occupied West Bank.
JERUSALEM — The Palestinians on Friday rejected U.S. allegations of incitement after a day of clashes and attacks left three Palestinians dead and more than a dozen Israelis wounded.heavily favors Israel on all the most contentious issues“Those who introduce plans for annexation and apartheid and the legalization of occupation and settlements are the ones who bear full responsibility for deepening the cycle of violence and extremism,” senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said in a statement.
He said Abbas “was surprised with how good the plan was for the Palestinian people, but he locked himself into a position” by rejecting it before it came out. The Palestinians want an independent state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories seized by Israel in the 1967 war. They view— which are home to some 700,000 people — as a major obstacle to peace. Most of the international community views the settlements as illegal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has eagerly embraced the plan. The Palestinians have adamantly rejected it, but Abbas has not called for violence.
