CAIRO (Ma’an) — Secretary-general for Palestinian affairs in the Arab League, Muhammad Sbeih, on Friday called for the United Nations to hold Israel responsible for recent attacks on Palestinian holy sites.
The attacks were a result of an environment of “extremism and racism” and would likely increase in the run-up to Israeli elections, he added.
PLO official Saeb Erekat strongly condemned the recent attacks, labeling them “a direct consequence of the calls for recognition of Israel as a ‘Jewish State’ and Jerusalem as the eternal and undivided capital of the Jewish people.”
On Thursday suspected Jewish extremists set fire to part of a Christian seminary in East Jerusalem’s Old City and sprayed “Jesus is a son of a whore” and “Redemption of Zion” on the walls.
A day earlier, extremist Jewish settlers set fire to a mosque in the southern West Bank town of al-Jaba and sprayed racist slogans calling for killing Arabs and Muslims on the walls in Hebrew
