Erekat calls on international community to protect Palestinians from Israelis after toddler killed
The PLO called on the international community to protect Palestinians from Israelis in the aftermath of a terror attack by Jewish extremists in the West Bank village of Duma in which a toddler was killed and four others were wounded.
“Over a year ago [Palestinian Authority] President Abbas requested international protection for Palestinians, a call that has been ignored so far,” said PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat on Friday just hours after the attack.
“Today we can see the consequences. We call upon the international community to end its policy of empty statements and to finally do something to protect Palestinians,” he said.
The Israeli government is “fully” responsible for the death of Ali Saad Dawabsha, a toddler who was a year-and-a-half old, said Erekat.
