On Wednesday, a double bombing by Palestinian terrorists killed one and injured at least 22 others in Jerusalem, stoking fears in Israel that another intifada is just around the corner. For months, the Jewish state has been coping with a deadly terror wave: since March, 28 Israelis have been murdered in shooting and stabbing attacks throughout the country. Yet Wednesday’s attacks reportedly marked the first bombing in Jerusalem since April 2016, raising fears of further escalation.
In an interview with CNN, HonestReporting Executive Director Gil Hoffman analyzed the implications of this week’s events, explaining that the Second Intifada never ended. “If the world wonders why Israel has entered places like Jenin and Nablus: it happened because that’s been necessary to stop the murder of children like what happened today,” Hoffman told anchor Anna Coren. He also touched upon the political situation in Jerusalem.
