Abbas Responsible for ‘Inciting Attack’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas after a deadly attack on a Jerusalem synagogue Tuesday, saying it was the ‘direct result’ of his incitement.And he warned that Israel would act with a ‘heavy hand’ against those responsible for organising the deadly attack, in which two Palestinians from annexed east Jerusalem stormed a synagogue with butchers’ knives and a gun, killing four Israelis and wounding eight, one of them critically.’This is the direct result of incitement by Hamas and Abu Mazen (Abbas), incitement that the international community ignores in an irresponsible manner,’ Netanyahu said in a statement. ‘We will respond with a heavy hand to the brutal murder of Jews who came to pray and were met by reprehensible murderers,’ he said.
