A former aide of a lawmaker from Israel's far-right coalition government is among two Jewish settlers arrested over the killing of a 19-year-old Palestinian, Qusai Jamal Maatan, in the occupied West Bank, Israeli media reports
"Yesterday, a member of his party shot dead a Palestinian citizen in the village of Burqah. It should be included in international terrorism blacklists," Sheikh said, noting the party leader's own history of inflammatory remarks against Palestinians.
At Saturday's funeral, Palestinian mourners carried Maatan's body through the streets wrapped in a black and white keffiyeh and a Palestinian flag, an AFP journalist reported. Following the killing of Maatan, a shooting in Israel's commercial hub Tel Aviv critically wounded a man on Saturday, authorities said, with police reporting the suspected assailant was shot by an armed municipal officer.Violence this year linked to the occupation has killed at least 207 Palestinians, 27 Israelis, one Ukrainian and one Italian, according to an AFP tally compiled from official sources on both sides.
