Palestine's President Abbas tells top US diplomat Blinken that Washington must pressure Israel to end its 'crimes against the Palestinian people' as Israeli election cements rise of powerful far-right
Israeli atrocities in Palestine"including blockades, extrajudicial killings, home demolitions, and settlement construction" must end, President Abbas tells top US diplomat Blinken.
Abbas reiterated his demand on Friday that the United States pressure Israel to stop its "crimes against the Palestinian people", WAFABlinken told Abbas the US administration was making efforts to calm the situation, it said. His victorious bloc includes lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir, an illegal West Bank settler and former member of Kach, a Jewish militant group on Israeli and US terrorist watchlists.
"These are two sociopaths," Palestinian analyst Noor Odeh said of the far-right leaders, whose sights are set on annexing the West Bank and ensuring Israel's security services use more force in countering Palestinian unrest."Is the world going to keep Netanyahu on a leash the way they would any other extreme right-wing government, or are they going to cover up for him and whitewash for him and what his cabinet does?" he asked.
