Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday for the deadly violence that began earlier in the day.

"This is not going to help you. Not the stabbings, not the (car) rammings, not the shootings and not the incitement," Netanyahu told Abbas in a video.

Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in clashes in the occupied West Bank on Thursday and a third in Jerusalem after he opened fire at police.

This came hours after a car-ramming attack elsewhere in the city wounded 12 Israeli soldiers.

Tensions have soared following last week's release of US President Donald Trump's Mideast initiative.

The violence put the plan on even shakier ground and raised fears of another extended round of fighting in the decades-old conflict.
