Netanyahu blamed Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas for the incident, saying "This is how Abu Mazen's partners in government act, the same Abu Mazen who-- only a few days ago -- incited toward a terrorist attack in Jerusalem."
The incident occurred at a light rail stop in the Ammunition Hill, located on the seamline between west and occupied east Jerusalem.
There have been numerous attacks by Palestinians in recent weeks against the light rail in Jerusalem, amidst simmering tensions in the city since Israel's embarked in July on a 50-day long devastating military campaign in Gaza.
Silwan is located in east Jerusalem, a territory Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East war and which was later annexed in a move that has not been recognized internationally.
Over the past month, Jewish settlers took over more than 30 apartments in Silwan, as part of their efforts to settle as many Jews as possible in Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem.
