Ya'alon: Terror Wave Result of PA Incitement, Iranian Funds
(Israel Hayom) Shlomo Cesana and Daniel Siryoti - "The terrorist attacks over the past two weeks, Palestinian attacks, are the result of incitement, which has increased over Ramadan [the Muslim holy month]," Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Wednesday. "Unfortunately, the atmosphere during Ramadan is one where incitement is not directed solely against the State of Israel and Jews, but also against the West. In the Palestinian arena, this leads to stabbing and shooting attacks." "There's Iranian funding. [Ayatollah] Khamenei has declared that terrorists in Judea and Samaria must be funded and armed," he added. "There's also a push from Turkey, by Hamas headquarters, which relocated to Istanbul from Damascus - it's interesting how a NATO member allows terrorist headquarters to operate on its soil - and by Gaza, of course, where Hamas is naturally active and trying to have more of an impact on terrorist activity across Judea and Samaria."
