Israeli Puppet Abbas condemns the settlers’ abduction, Netanyahu asks for his help

PA chairman traitor Mahmoud Abbas condemned the abduction of the three Israeli settlers, assuring his forces’ keenness to maintain stability and security in the area.

In a phone conversation, Abbas informed Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday that his security forces are working to prevent the situation from worsening.

In his turn, Netanyahu called on Abbas to help with efforts to rescue the abducted settlers and arrest their “kidnappers”.

The kidnappers came from and returned to territory under Palestinian Authority control, Netanyahu told Abbas.

“This incident reveals the nature of the terrorism we are fighting,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said that the Hamas-Fatah pact is not only bad for Israelis, but it is also bad for the Palestinians and the entire region.

Israel’s deputy foreign minister Tzachi Hanegbi said Monday that security coordination between PA and Israeli forces is still ongoing, claiming that Abbas realizes that reconciliation agreement with Hamas movement was a wrong decision.

He pointed to the important role of Israeli diplomatic missions around the world to prove the link between Palestinian reconciliation agreement and the disappearance of the three Israeli settlers.

For his part, MK Omer Bar-Lev (Labor) said that the reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas is irrelevant to this event.

He stressed the need to maintain security coordination and transfer of information from the Palestinian security agencies.

Meanwhile, an Israeli military surveillance zeppelin was launched over Halhoul Bridge in al-Khalil as part of search operation for the three missing settlers.

Eyewitnesses told PIC reporter that Israeli soldiers launched the zeppelin equipped with surveillance cameras and spy devices near a military tower established on Halhoul Bridge northern al-Khalil.

Five Israeli Zeppelin airships were launched during the same period over different parts of the city, in addition to a number of reconnaissance helicopters, the sources added.

The Israeli occupation forces had earlier closed the entrances to the province in light of the continued raid and arrest campaign throughout the province.

Israeli military sources declared on Friday the disappearance of three conscripts near al-Khalil on Thursday night. Large-scale Israeli raid and arrest campaigns were launched throughout West Bank following the incident.
