Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that no Palestinian state will be established, amid international moves by countries like France and Canada to recognize Palestine at the UN, while celebrating the expansion of the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim, a move criticized by the UN and international law.
Three Palestinian gunmen attacked vehicles near the Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim in the West Bank, killing an Israeli man and injuring 13 others. Two attackers were killed, and the third was detained. The surge in violence follows the conflict in Gaza, with over 400 Palestinians and 12 Israelis killed in related incidents. Hamas praised the attack as a response to Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli officials called for increased settlement construction and distribution of weapons to civilians for protection.
Six Israelis were wounded, one seriously, in a terror shooting in the West Bank settlement city of Ma'ale Adumim. The Palestinian attacker opened fire at a group of people, including diners at a burger restaurant, before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer. The wounded were taken to hospitals in Jerusalem for treatment. The attacker was identified as a 20-year-old Palestinian worker from a nearby town. The city of Ma'ale Adumim has temporarily barred the entry of Palestinian workers following the attack.
