RAMALLAH, July 20, 2017 (WAFA) – Israel is pouring oil on the fire with what it is doing in Jerusalem and the occupied territories, government spokesman Yousef al-Mahmoud said on Thursday.
“Announcing the construction of a new settlement northeast of Jerusalem and continuing with its assault against Al-Aqsa Mosque means pouring more oil on the fire,” he said in a statement.
“The government of Israel insists on escalating the situation, which is a declaration of its opposition to all efforts aimed at reaching a breakthrough in the peace process,” he said.
He said the time is now to rein in Israel and put a stop to the escalation on the ground.
