Specifically on October 1st 2015, a new spate of violence erupted in Isreal and the Palestinian territories which was escalated in part by dissents and tittle tattles about access restriction to the AL- Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Since then, atleast 8 Israelis and 42 Palestinians have lost there lives in street violence. As reported, the Isreali Government has eased some gun laws giving rooms to many citizens to either renew their gun license or arm themselves by requesting for a new license. Isreali President, Binyamin Netanyahu has continually blamed his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmud Abbas for inciting the wave of attacks.
John Kerry & Binyamin NetanyahuTRENDING
US Secretary of States, John Kerry met with the Isreali President, Binyamin Netanyahu in Berlin as part of his diplomatic activity aimed at preventing the escalation of the three weeks long uprising. After the four hours long meeting, he expressed a measure of optimism that 'Constructive Proposals' have been raised that will see the Isreali President maintaining Status quo at the flash point (Al Aqsa Mosque).
In John Kerry's words:
"It is absolutely critical to end all incitement, to end all violence and to find a road forward to build the possibility, which is not there today, for a larger process. Today, we, you and I, can rekindle that process," Kerry told Netanyahu. "We've been at this, we know each other well, I believe we have the ability to make a difference. I believe people want this to de-escalate. So, let's go to work and see what we can do'
While addressing the Press, Binyamin Netanyahu maintained his accusation of incitement by the Palestinian President. In his submission:
"There is no question that this wave of attacks was driven directly by the incitement, the incitement of Hamas, the incitement of the Islamist movement in Israel and the incitement, I am sorry to say, from president Abbas and the Palestinian Authority," said Netanyahu.
"I think it is time for the international community to say clearly to president Abbas: stop spreading lies about the state of Israel,"
