Palestinian Presidency condemns Israel for killing teenager in Jenin

The Palestinian Presidency on Tuesday accused the Israeli government of being responsible for the recent dangerous escalation in the occupied territories.

The Presidency's statement condemned Israel for killing an 18-year-old Palestinian teenager who succumbed Tuesday to wounds sustained during clashes with Israeli forces late on Monday in al Araqa village in western Jenin.

Netanyahu government's continued escalation indicates rejection of the two-state solution and aim to destroy all possibilities to revive the peace process in the Middle East, the statement added.

The presidency follows up the issue with countries and the UN organization to put an end to these flagrant Israeli violation, the statement said.
