The comments mark a shift from Mahmoud Abbas’ previous failure to condemn Saturday’s attack.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said killing civilians contravene morals, religion and international law.
“We reject the practices of killing civilians or abusing them on both sides because they contravene morals, religion and international law,” the official Palestinian news agency Wafa quoted Abbas as saying. The West Bank, which Palestinians want as the core of a future state, has seen a wave of violence for more than 18 months that has fuelled fears of a repeat of the two Palestinian Intifadas or uprisings of the 1980s and early 2000s.
Both Fatah, the faction which controls the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas, which has a strong presence in the West Bank, called for a “day of rage” protest on Friday.
