US Secretary of State John Kerry has denounced as “acts of terrorism” a wave of Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis, on a visit to Jerusalem.
“No people anywhere should live with daily violence, with attacks in the streets, with knives, with scissors, cars,” he said, alongside Israel’s PM.
Mr Kerry will later meet the Palestinian president in the West Bank.
Nineteen Israelis and more than 90 Palestinians, many of them assailants, have been killed in weeks of unrest.
Hamas, which runs Gaza, said it condemned Mr Kerry’s remarks and considered his statement “a full support of the Israeli crimes and terrorism”.
