Jewish couple, three children killed in West Bank

[Guest]

(Reuters) - A Jewish couple and three of their children were stabbed to death in a West Bank settlement on Saturday in what Israeli officials said was an attack by a Palestinian who broke into their home in the early hours.

Troops from the Israeli occupation forces set up roadblocks and were searching the area around the settlement of Itamar, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, for the suspect.

A baby was among the five dead, officials said.

Re: Jewish couple, three children killed in West Bank

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas received a stern ticking-off when he called Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Saturday night to condemn the savage murder Friday night by Palestinian terrorists of the parents and three small children of an Israeli family while they slept at their home at Itamar on the West Bank. The Prime Minister knew Abbas had quietly ordered heads of his Fatah organization to throw its support behind the atrocity – which was why Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad was careful earlier to denounce "violence by any quarter" only in general terms.

Quartet response...

"The Quartet calls on those responsible to be brought to justice and welcomes the strong condemnation of this attack by... the Palestinian leadership."

The Quartet in its statement also emphasized the need "to expedite efforts to achieve Israeli-Palestinian and comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace."
