RAMALLAH, November 30, 2015 (WAFA) – The fatal shooting of two
Palestinians by Israeli forces following an alleged stabbing attack near
Damascus Gate in Jerusalem and during night clashes in the Jerusalem
neighborhood of Ras al-‘Amud hit the front page headlines in Palestinian
dailies.
The dailies reported that two Palestinians were fatally shot by
Israeli forces in Jerusalem. Al-Ayyam explained that one Palestinian was shot
dead following an alleged stabbing attack in Jerusalem.
It is worth noting in this regard that Baseem ‘Abdul-Rahman Salah,
38, from Nablus was shot dead after allegedly stabbing and injuring an Israeli border
guard in Jerusalem. Ayman Sameeh ‘Abbasi, 17, was also shot dead by Israeli
police Sunday night during clashes in Ras al’Amud neighborhood.
Covering Israeli forces’ tightened restrictions’ and continued
aggression against Palestinians, al-Ayyam reported that dozens of Palestinians
were shot and injured by Israeli forces during clashes that broke out across
several West Bank districts.
Al-Quds and al-Ayyam added in this regard that a Palestinian
National Security officer was shot and injured by Israeli forces near Ramallah.
Furthermore, al-Quds reported in its main front page news item that
a Palestinian young man from Hebron was detained by Israeli police following an
alleged stabbing attack in West
Jerusalem. Al-Ayyam printed a photo for the man being detained by army soldiers
from a construction site.

and ordered the closure of Dream radio station in Hebron for a period of six
months.

Following the EU’s decision earlier this month to label goods
produced in Israeli settlements across the West Bank, the three dailies
reported that Israel has decided to suspend contacts with the EU bodies
involved in the peacemaking efforts.
Following initial media reports indicating that Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was weighing up the possibility of “handing
over” 40,000 dunums in West Bank’s Area C for the PA in order to restore calm,
al-Ayyam reported Netanyahu as stressing that “not even one meter” would be
handed over to the PA.
Netanyahu
was further reported in al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida as seeking to advance
Jewish nation-state bill.
King
of Jordan Abdullah II was quoted in al-Hayat al-Jadida as stating: “lack of a just
solution to the question of Palestine will keep the region under the weight of
violence, extremism and terrorism.”
