Dr. Saeb Erakat: “Israel, the occupying power, is the root-cause of what is going on today.”

Israel’s right wing extremist government continues to put the blame on the occupied Palestinian population. Mr. Netanyahu’s continuous accusations do not change the fact that Israel, the occupying power, is the root-cause of what is going on today. In fact Israeli violence is a daily fact that all Palestinians have to endure.
