"Palestinians torched a site revered by Jews in the West Bank overnight in an incident that threatened to further inflame over two weeks of deadly unrest, as fresh protests were planned for Friday."
"Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, under pressure over recent comments that some have labeled incitement amid the wave of stabbing of Jews in Israel, quickly condemned the fire at the site in the northern city of Nablus known as Joseph's Tomb.
"It's time that president Abbas stops not only justifying it, but also calling for it," Netanyahu told reporters.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to travel to the region "in the coming days" to try to calm tempers, also warned the Palestinian leader not to incite violence.
ABBAS LIES, INCITES VIOLENCE
The Palestinian leader has faced heavy criticism over a statement on Wednesday night in which he claimed a Palestinian youth had been executed. Israel has released photos and videos which they say show the 13-year-old, accused of taking part in two stabbing attacks, recovering in hospital.
The violence began on October 1, when a suspected cell of the Islamist movement Hamas murdered a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children."
