Abbas considers appeal to UN over ‘Temple Mount violations’

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is considering an appeal to the United Nations Security Council over what he termed as Israel’s continuous violation of Palestinian property as well as ongoing settler violence in the West Bank.

In a televised speech Thursday, Abbas claimed that settlers had “killed and maimed” Palestinians, and said that the IDF did nothing in order to prevent such acts, Israel Radio reported.

The PA chairman also condemned the “serious Israeli violations” in East Jerusalem, specifically on the Temple Mount.

Abbas did not address the recent murders of IDF soldiers Tomer Hazan and Gal Gabriel Kobi at the hands of Palestinians, nor did he address the shooting of nine-year-old Noam Glick by an apparent Palestinian gunman last Saturday.
