A senior official in Tel Aviv revealed on Tuesday that the head of the CIA, William Burns, warned both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of the danger of a third Palestinian uprising in the near future.
The official said he was not surprised by Burns’ remarks in Washington, in which he confirmed that during his recent visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, he felt that the situation in the region was fragile and violence was escalating between Israelis and Palestinians.
