PA claims Israel fabricates Palestinian stabbings - despite video of attack

Official PA TV News reporter: "The sight of the many [Palestinian] citizens passing through the checkpoints without hesitation or fear did not please the most extreme settler leaders… Accordingly, the occupation leaders' orders were to create a scenario of stabbing operations (i.e., terror attacks), which the [Israeli] soldiers did not prepare well, because the [Palestinian] activists have documented several soldiers' attempts to place the knife on the ground."
