In recent days, PA leaders have repeatedly threatened war and violence in response to the US potential recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving its embassy to Jerusalem. As Palestinian Media Watch has documented, Palestinian incitement to violence often accompanies Palestinian terror. Today, a PlaePalestinian terrorist drove a truck into a group of soldiers who had just gotten off a bus in Jerusalem, murdering three women and one man and injuring several. At least six Palestinian leaders close to Mahmoud Abbas threatened violence recently, some explicitly threatening a religious war.  On Friday, in a sermon in the presence of Mahmoud Abbas himself, Abbas’ advisor on religion Mahmoud Al-Habbash said American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving the embassy “is a declaration of war on all Muslims.” READ MORE
