Israel accuses UN Secretary General of encouraging terror
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday accused the UN chief of “encouraging terror” after Ban Ki-moon spoke of Palestinian frustration at Israel’s occupation and said it was natural to resist.
“The comments of the UN Secretary General encourage terror,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “There is no justification for terror.”
The AFP reported that earlier, Ban told the UN Security Council of the “profound sense of alienation and despair driving some Palestinians – especially young people” in the upsurge of attacks on Israelis since the start of October.
“Palestinian frustration is growing under the weight of a half century of occupation and the paralysis of the peace process,” he said.
