Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas criticized Israel's "cold-blooded shooting of innocent Palestinians," in a phone conversation with Meretz party leader Zehava Gal-on on Sunday. Abbas's comments came after a Palestinian was shot and killed by IDF forces during an arrest raid that was part of Israel's ongoing efforts to locate three teens kidnapped in the West Bank ten days ago.
According to a statement released by Gal-on, Abbas reiterated his "deep obligation to searching for the abducted boys and bringing them peacefully home." The PA president pointed to his having condemned the kidnappings at a meeting of Islamic state foreign ministers in Saudi Arabia last week as proof of his dedication to returning the youths. He told Gal-on that the Palestinians were fully committed to cooperating with Israeli security forces in their efforts to locate the youths. Abbas has come under fire from Hamas for cooperating with Israeli security forces in their West Bank operation.
