"Israel's envoy to the United Nations on Monday called on the Security Council to condemn a deadly terror attack a day earlier in the West Bank in which two Israelis were killed by a Palestinian co-worker.
Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, 28, a mother of one, and Ziv Hajbi, a 35-year-old father of three, were shot dead by a Palestinian gunman at the Barkan Industrial Park near the settlement-city of Ariel.
'The members of the UN Security Council should clearly condemn the murderous terror attack,' he wrote in a letter to the council. 'This is your responsibility and your obligation to the Middle East and the world. And even more so for the sake of the children of Kim and Ziv who are left orphaned.'
He also called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to clearly condemn the attack.
'Instead of preaching to Israel and blocking suggestions to calm the region, [Abbas] should come out clearly and forcefully against the inciters and the terrorists who come from the Palestinian Authority,' Danon wrote. 'Financing terrorists is fuel for attacks just like the one that took place in Barkan, and only by stopping the funding can you help fight against terror.'..."
