Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas called Wednesday in Geneva for the creation of a “special regime” for the protection of his people, despite the fact that it is the Palestinian Arabs – not Israelis – causing the waves of terror in Israel over the past month.

Abbas called on the UN, “more urgently than any time before, to set up a special regime for international protection for the Palestinian people, immediately and urgently.”

Arab rioters have been turning the Temple Mount into a terror den in recent weeks, but yet it is Israel which has been blamed for the violence, even though it acts in self-defense to protect the compound from the rioters. 

The riots have snowballed into an unprecedented wave of stabbings, shootings, and other attacks against Jews and Israelis – with 778 incidents reported over the past four weeks alone. 

The PA – and Abbas himself – have been the direct cause of the terror wave, which has continued via an ongoing stream of Palestinian incitement in official media.
