Netanyahu: The world must stand with Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said at a press conference that he demands the world's "condemnation" over the killings in the Jerusalem synagogue.

“I would like to see shock, I would like to see a condemnation, a real uprooting, not a compromise,” he said.

“The world watches this massacre but does not demand that Palestinians stop their incitement against Israel which is the root of this violence. I expect to hear that very same uncompromising condemnation.”

He called for "national unity" saying he would "uphold law, order and security throughout the streets of Jerusalem. I have decided to dismantle the homes of the terrorists … and to enforce law, to make punishments more severe, and to outlaw certain organizations.”

“Citizens of Israel I call upon you to be alert, abide by the law. We will repay all those terrorists … but nobody, nobody must take the law into their own hands, even during a storm or when the blood boils.”

He also denied a rift between himself and the Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, over accusations of incitement against PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

He told reporters that he did not believe Abbas was calling for terrorism, but that the PA still incited it through its rhetoric.
