Inside Story

Is a third Palestinian Intifada imminent?

Further violence in Palestinian territories and Israel raises fears of a new uprising.

Over the last month, at least 30 Palestinians and 8 Israelis have been killed in a spate of violence across the Palestinian territories and Israel.
 
The Israeli government has adopted a number of tough measures against Palestinian attacks. 
 
The violence, that started with Palestinian anger over Israel’s actions at al-Aqsa Mosque compound, comes at a time when prospects for a political settlement have almost completely faded.
 
So, is a new uprising on the way? And how will Israeli and the Palestinian authorities respond to it?
