Israel's President Isaac Herzog called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday to condemn the recent settler attacks in the West Bank.

During the phone call, Herzog stressed the need to "fight terrorism, hatred and incitement," as reported by the Hebrew Walla website.

This came after a phone call from Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Hussein Al-Sheikh, who also censured the recent attacks against Palestinians and said that his forces will work to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Galant also stressed the need to restore calm in the West Bank, calling on Minister Al-Sheikh to work against what he described as "dens of terrorism." He added that Israeli forces will not hesitate to act against "terrorists," if they so nedded.
