A poster of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, showing him as a target is seen at a checkpoint near the Jewish settlements, in Nablus, Ramallah on December 11, 2018
A member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, called on Sunday for the President of the Palestinian Authority to have his head “chopped off”.
Oren Hazzan MK made the comment about Mahmoud Abbas, as well as his Deputy, Mahmoud Al-Aloul, during a march held by illegal settlers in Jerusalem, Maan News Agency has reported.
Dozens of settlers gathered in and around Jerusalem’s Old City chanting racist slogans against Abbas and calling for him to be killed. In the evening, they gathered outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house and burnt pictures of Abbas. Banners held by the settlers called for the PA leader’s assassination.
“We call for the complete approval of the settlements in Ofra and Amona,” Hazzan declared. Addressing his remarks to government ministers, he added, “We want to go back to Givaat. Stop evading your responsibility. We want to have the head of Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] and his deputy chopped off.
The life of one of our soldiers is equal to the life of 100 terrorists. We want all the terrorists to be executed.”
Many Israeli officials refer to the Palestinians as “terrorists” whether or not they are involved in legitimate resistance activities.
Last week, Israeli settlers carried out attacks and instigated clashes with Palestinians in different areas across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
On most occasions, the heavily armed settlers are protected by Israeli soldiers and police officers when they gather for demonstrations and terrorist attacks on Palestinians and their homes.

The soldiers shot six Palestinians and abducted three others during the invasion, while all schools, including kindergartens, did not open in the morning, due to the ongoing military offensive.
The soldiers stormed and violently searched many homes, and occupied the rooftops of several buildings, near Na’alwa family home, to use them as military towers and firing posts.
The military bulldozers then advanced to the three-story building, and knocked its foundation and main walls down, while the soldiers also manually demolished sections of the property.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Tulkarem said the soldiers injured seven Palestinians, including three who were moved to Dr. Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, in Tulkarem, and are in a stable condition; one of them was shot with a rubber-coated steel bullet, and one suffered burns.
It added that four Palestinians suffered the severe effects of teargas inhalation, and received the needed treatment by medics of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
The PRCS said the soldiers also fired rubber-coated steel bullets at one of its ambulances, while trying to reach wounded Palestinians.
It is worth mentioning that dozens of Palestinians gathered, on Sunday evening, in and around the Na’alwa family home, just before the army invaded the area, and forced them out, to prepare for the demolition of the property.
Ashraf Na’alwa, 23, who was killed by the army, on December 13th, 2018, at a home in Askar refugee camp, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, is accused of carrying out the fatal shooting in Barkan colony, illegally built on Palestinian lands.
The two Israelis have been identified as Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, 28, from Rosh HaAyin, and Ziv Hagbi, 35, from Rishon LeZion colonies.
Following the demolition, the Palestinian Authority issued a statement denouncing the Israeli violations, especially since the home demolition policy is an illegal act of collective punishment, targeting entire families.
It said that world leaders and countries must understand that Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, and its escalating hostile policies and violations, are the core factors of ongoing tension and violence.
The authority also called on the international community to provide the urgently-needed protection to the Palestinian civilians, and added that there can be no real peace and stability in the region as long as Israel continues its illegal occupation and violations.
It called for the immediate implementation of all United Nations and Security Council resolutions, in addition to all related international treaties and agreements, to ensure the establishment of an independent, viable and contagious Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as its capital.

The invasion lasted about an hour, and troops left along with the settlers who came from the nearby illegal Israeli settlement of Kedumim, which was built on Palestinian lands.
Kufur Qaddoum is the scene of weekly protests since 2013, the residents protest the Israeli army closer of the main entrance leading in or out of the village to enable easy access for the settlers driving to and from the illegal Kedumim colony.
Since the beginning of this week, the colonists have escalated their violations against Palestinian all over the West Bank, attacking cars, buses and towns, leaving scores injured in addition to damaged Palestinian vehicles and property.
Morad Eshteiwi, the coordinator of the Popular Committee in Kufur Qaddoum, said dozens of soldiers invaded the town, after the Palestinians uncovered the infiltration of the colonists.
The Palestinians, who exposed the infiltration, are from the local committee, which was formed years ago, to monitor the town for similar invasions and attacks, and warn the families.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the soldiers instantly invaded the town after the colonists were exposed, and fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades at the Palestinians, wounding 23 who suffered cuts and bruises and the severe effects of teargas inhalation.
The soldiers also invaded homes, and occupied their rooftops, to use them as monitoring posts to secure the colonists’ retreat, and fire at the protesters. video
