The United Nations High Deputy for Human Rights, Volker Turk, warned that recent actions by the Israeli occupation government would lead to "further violence and bloodshed.

"I am afraid that the recent actions of the government of Israel will trigger further violations and abuses of human rights and international humanitarian law," Turk said.

The occupation government's plans to accelerate and expand the licensing of firearms, with the addition of thousands of Israelis carrying firearms, could only lead to more violence and bloodshed.
