The Palestinian Authority leadership has begun holding intensive contacts to convene an emergency session of the UN Security Council to "end the ongoing and wanton aggression" against Palestinians, a statement published in Ramallah said Sunday. The statement said that the PA leadership was also planning to go to international parties and organizations to provide protection for Palestinians. The PA leadership condemned the ongoing IDF operation in the West Bank following the abduction of the three Israeli youths, dubbing it "collective punishment."
The statement pointed out that six Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the IDF crackdown. It also noted that the IDF has stormed many houses, institutions, organizations and universities and arrested hundreds of Palestinians "under the pretext of searching for the three missing settlers. This means that the Israeli government is pushing the situation toward additional tension and explosion." The PA said that the Israeli "aggression" won't achieve its goal and would only drive Palestinians to adhere to their rights.
