“I view with utmost severity the remarks accusing Israel of the violence directed against us,” Bennett said, adding that “there are those who are encouraging rock-throwing and the use of violence against the citizens of the State of Israel” — a direct reference to the Jordanian government.
Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh praised Arab stone-throwers who used the Al-Alqa mosque from which to attack “pro-Zionists who defile the mosque under the auspices of the Israeli occupation government.”
