Palestinians in West Bank fear further escalation of violence if Netanyahu remains PM
Ramallah residents say they hope to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lose power in elections.
France 24 reports: Ramallah residents say they hope to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lose power in elections.
"Netanyahu remaining in power means that there will be a clash, a build-up of tension and an explosion in the region", says one resident. Israel has committed the crime against humanity of "extermination" in the West Bank, while continuing to commit "genocide" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, United Nations-mandated investigators said Monday (October 27).
This world story centres on the Palestinian Territories. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include Netanyahu, Palestinians and West Bank.
