Palestinian leadership Wednesday called on the Israeli government to take immediate actions to stop settlers' racist and criminal acts across West Bank. According to WAFA, Mohammad Hussein Abu Khdeir, 17, a Palestinian teenager from the Arab East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat, was kidnapped by settlers on Wednesday and was later cold-bloodedly killed. Abu Khdeir's body, which was charred and bore signs of violence, was found in a West Jerusalem forest. "We condemn this criminal act and call for providing international protection for the Palestinian people against settlers' attacks that, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, have continued unabated," said the Palestinian leadership in a statement. President Abbas presided Tuesday evening over a meeting at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah to discuss the latest killings of Palestinians and raids into West Bank cities by the Israeli occupation forces.
