(MENAFN) The Palestinian Authority (PA) strongly condemned the Israeli legislation for Palestinians linked to attacks against Israelis to be slapped with death penalties.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu support for the bill is "an open call for incitement to kill, execute and to massacre Palestinians," as stated Palestinian government spokesperson Yousef Al-Mahmoud.
"Netanyahu and his followers shall be held responsible for the consequences of this horrible decision and for how it flagrantly breaches international and humanitarian laws and norms," the spokesperson noted.
The international community also received an appeal from Al-Mahmoud to claim responsibility for defending Palestinians and help create an independent Palestinian state.
