No end to Israeli-Palestinian violence despite Kerry proposal
  • 9 years ago
Violence between Israelis and Palestinians showed no signs of abating Sunday despite a plan brokered a day earlier by Secretary of State John F. Kerry to bring quiet to the region, which has endured weeks of tit-for-tat killings.
Earlier in the day, Israel's military said two Palestinians disguised as ultra-Orthodox Jews attacked an Israeli man near the Gush Etzion bloc of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
After meetings with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and King Abdullah II of Jordan, Kerry announced a plan involving the installation of security cameras at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem.
Maliki, who is close to Abbas, expressed several misgivings about Kerry's proposal, including concerns that Israeli security forces would use images from any surveillance cameras at the compound to arrest Muslim worshipers.
