Danon Calls for UN Condemnation of Petah Tikva Attack

"Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called on the United Nations Secretary General to condemn Thursday's terror attack in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva in which at least five people were lightly wounded by a Palestinian.

He also called on the Security Council to convene a special session on Palestinian incitement to violence.

An 18-year-old Palestinian man from the West Bank, subsequently arrested by police, allegedly opened fire at a bus near the city's busy central market, using an improvised firearm. He then ran through side streets before being cornered by a group of civilians outside a sewing machine repair shop...

'An eighteen-year-old Palestinian filled with hatred attacked innocent Israelis today,' Ambassador Danon said.

'This terror attack is a direct result of ongoing incitement from the Palestinian leadership.

'The international community must take immediate and decisive action against this incitement before it leads to any further bloodshed,' he added..."
