Israel’s new Permanent
Representative to the UN, Ambassador Danny Danon, called on the UN Secretary
General to make a clear and unequivocal statement against incitement that fuels
terror, and said:
“A wave of terror continues to
spread across the nation and it spares no one - babies, children, men and women
are being targeted every day. Israelis do not feel safe walking down the
street, they avoid taking the bus to work, and they fear for the lives of their
children every time they walk out the door. This reign of terror must stop.
Only the cessation of the incitement will alleviate this dangerous situation
and bring calm and security to the region.”
.
“On
Monday, in a particularly shocking and horrific attack, two Palestinian
teenagers, one of them merely 13 years old, stabbed a 13 year old boy riding
his bicycle and an Israeli man who was walking down the street. This was just
one of the four attacks that took place on that day alone, three of which were
carried out by minors.”
Ambassador
Danon added that: “Such acts of pitiless slaughter do not occur in a vacuum.
They are a direct result of Palestinian incitement, deliberately directed to
inflame Palestinian children’s minds with hate, and are a result of the
propagation of false allegations against Israel, in particular regarding the
status quo on the Temple Mount. As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu clearly
stated time and again - Israel is fully committed to maintaining the status quo
on the Temple Mount. “
