The Palestinian leadership on Monday requested that the UN open an investigation into Israeli forces' "extrajudicial executions," after a soldier's gruesome killing of a wounded Palestinian was captured on camera in Hebron last week.
PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat said in a statement that he made the request during a meeting with UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov.
He said that while Israel had announced its own investigation into the "brutal execution" of Abed al-Fattah al-Sharif in Hebron on Thursday, "historic facts" cast doubt on Israeli investigations, which he said had "yet to serve justice."
Erekat alleged that since the killing of 18-year-old Hadeel Hashlamon in Hebron last September, there had been "207 cases of Israeli extrajudicial killings of Palestinians."
