"We are in the midst of a third intifada and Mahmoud Abbas is behind it, inciting and encouraging the perpetrators of the terror attacks," said David Pearl, head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, speaking to Channel 2.
Pearl spoke shortly after three soldiers were run over in a terror attack on Route 60, southwest of Bethlehem in the Gush Etzion region. Currently, large amounts of security forces are searching the area for the driver behind the attack, according to Israel Radio.
