Let us remind you that two days ago, an armed Palestinian shot dead seven people near a synagogue in East Jerusalem during Shabbat prayer. This happened after Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip. The attack followed a deadly Israeli raid on Thursday in Jenin that killed nine Palestinians. All this increases the risk of renewed escalation between Israelis and Palestinians.
