U.N. Security Council to meet Monday on Jerusalem violence: diplomats

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council will meet on Monday to discuss the bloodiest spate of Israeli-Palestinian violence for years, diplomats said on Saturday.

Sweden, Egypt and France requested the meeting to "urgently discuss how calls for de-escalation in Jerusalem can be supported," Sweden's Deputy U.N. ambassador, Carl Skau, posted on Twitter.

Israel sent extra troops into the occupied West Bank on Saturday and raided the home of the Palestinian attacker who stabbed to death three Israelis on Friday, the military said.

He's Jewish. Just the kind of person that would have been shot or stabbed for his ethnicity.
