Talking Peace While Plotting Murder
Palestinians continue to attempt to commit random murder with barrages of rockets, even as they pretend to talk “peace:” Israeli-Palestinian peace talks resume.
JERUSALEM - The highly anticipated renewal of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians got off to a rocky start Wednesday, with the Palestinians criticizing Israel for a construction project planned in disputed east Jerusalem, and Israel complaining about continued rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. …
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the meeting with the media, cited a “tense atmosphere” and said Israel complained about ongoing Palestinian rocket fire from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
Early Wednesday, Palestinian militants fired 20 homemade rockets toward Israel, causing minor damage and lightly wounding one woman, Israeli officials said. The barrage came hours after Israeli forces ended a broad incursion into the coastal strip that killed six militants and left a wide swath of damage in its wake.
