US Secretary of State John Kerry condemned a wave of Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis as he met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday in his latest bid to ease the violence.
“Clearly, no people anywhere should live with daily violence, with attacks in the streets, with knives, with scissors, cars,” Kerry told reporters at Netanyahu’s office ahead of talks with the Israeli prime minister.
“And it is very clear to us that terrorism, these acts of terrorism, deserve the condemnation that they are receiving and today I express my complete condemnation for any act of terror that takes innocent lives.”
