Israel: International Intervention in Jerusalem Only Benefits the Rioters and Those Who Send Them
(Times of Israel) Israel's National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat told U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday that international intervention in the rioting in the Old City of Jerusalem is only rewarding those who are inciting the unrest. Israel is handling the events "out of a position of sovereignty, responsibly, and with common sense despite the provocations," Ben Shabbat said. International interference was "a prize for the rioters and those sending them who hoped to put pressure on Israel," and it would be more helpful if the pressure were directed at those who were inciting the violence.
