Tel Aviv regime propping up radicalism, violence in occupied lands

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the running over of four Palestinian children by an Israeli settler, stating that the incident clearly indicates that the Tel Aviv regime is fanning the flames of radicalism and violence in occupied territories.

The ministry, in a statement released on Friday, held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the simmering tensions, arguing that Israeli

courts are not serious about putting those liable for crimes against Palestinians on trial.

The statement further described the incumbent Israeli administration and religious schools run by radical rabbis as the root causes behind the spread of extremist and terrorist ideologies.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also called upon international organizations to intervene, and bring those accountable for the recent attack against Palestinian children to account.

On Thursday evening, an Israeli settler ran over four Palestinian children in the predominantly Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan on the outskirts of the Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center later identified the victims as 6-year-old Hamza Tayser Abu Sbeih, 9-year-old Yousif Mazin Raman, 9-year-old Amir Tayser Abu Sbeih, and 11-year-old Anas Himoni.

Raman broke a tooth in the fall, Amir Abu Sbeih sustained a deep injury in his knee that required stitches, while the two others sustained bruises.

The center added that a group of Israeli forces simply stood by and did not take any measures, before locals called an ambulance that transferred the children to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem al-Quds.
