JERUSALEM, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency Cabinet meeting to discuss an outbreak of violence after an Israeli man was allegedly killed by Palestinians throwing stones.
Netanyahu's meeting, to be held Tuesday, was organized to discuss "the war on stone-throwing and firebombs in Jerusalem and its vicinity," and was prompted by the death of an unidentified Jewish man, 50, who died Monday after he lost control of his car and crashed. Israeli police said his car was pelted by stone-throwing assailants on a road between Palestinian and Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem prior to the accident.
