Israeli minister: Abbas 'inciting murder of Jews'

Israel's education minister Naftali Bennett has accused Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of "inciting" Palestinians to "murder Jews", after a number of stabbing attacks on Israelis.

Mr Bennett also accused Mr Abbas of "blood libel" by claiming Israel had killed Palestinians who were in fact still alive.

Mr Abbas has said Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas and "aggression" is to blame for the unrest.
