PA PM accuses Israel of implementing “organized terror” against Palestinians

PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh posted text on his Facebook page

Posted text: “The sight of the criminal execution in Hawara (refers to terrorist Ammar Mefleh stabbing and wounding 2 before being shot in self-defense -Ed.) reflects the organized terror that is being implemented by the occupation soldiers, which ismotivated by a religious faith based on murder, on shooting bullets at our children in order to murder them. The soldiers’ feeling that there are no punishments for their actions encourages them to repeat their crimes.

We warn against the dangerous consequences of these awful crimes, call for immediate international intervention to stop the attack against our people, and express the warmest consolations and sincerest condolences to the Martyr’s parents.”

Ammar Mefleh - 22-year-old Palestinian released terrorist prisoner who attempted to stab an Israeli couple by breaking into their car near Nablus on Dec. 2, 2022. The driver, an off-duty Israeli soldier, shot and lightly wounded Mefleh, who then stabbed an Israeli border police officer in the face. Another officer tried to arrest Mefleh without shooting him, but Mefleh resisted, stabbed the officer, and tried to steal his gun. The officer then shot and killed him in self-defense.
