Israel Protests to U.S. over "Palestinian Authority Incitement"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff and Khaled Abu Toameh - In the wake of Palestinians killing two IDF soldiers in separate incidents this weekend, Israel complained to the U.S. on Monday that the Palestinian Authority had failed to stop violence and incitement against its citizens. A senior Israeli official said the PA had not done enough to prevent the sniper fire that killed a soldier in Hebron. A senior Israeli security official said the PA is not effectively dealing with terror, and that all recent actions to prevent terror attacks have been at the hands of the IDF. The PA's arrests are cosmetic and those arrested do not stand trial, he added.
