Palestinian police says Israeli troops have shot and killed a 17-year-old boy and injured five others who clashed with them. Israeli forces killed 235 Palestinians in the same period, most identified by Israel as attackers. Israel blames the violence on Palestinian incitement, while Palestinians say it stems from frustration over decades of Israeli rule. The police say the Palestinians hurled rocks at the Israeli troops, who responded with fire. Since 2015, Palestinian attackers have carried out numerous stabbings, shootings and vehicular assaults that killed 40 Israelis and two visiting Americans.

In 1986, Mr. Cohen was the catalyst for the first three clandestine sessions in Paris and Brussels between Israeli and Palestinian representatives, two from each side. Israel was ready to give him one Palestinian state, but not two.
