Netanyahu slams Arab Israeli leaders for failing to condemn kidnapping of teens
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday slammed Arab Israeli leaders for failing to condemn the kidnapping of three Israeli teens in the West Bank earlier this month.
Speaking at a meeting of his Likud faction, the prime minister said, "These leaders are not even willing to do what [PA President Mahmoud] Abbas did, condemn a wicked kidnapping of children. If they want to live as part of Israel they must condemn it."
Netanyahu reiterated that he is pushing to outlaw the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, which led a demonstration over the weekend in Umm al-Fahm protesting the IDF's West Bank operation to bring back the kidnapped boys.
"We live in Israel, defended by the IDF, who defends all of our citizens and we expect minimal recognition of that from all citizens," Netanyahu said.

ISIS crucifies eight rival fighters, says monitoring group
BEIRUT - Eight rebel fighters have been crucified in Syria by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) because they were considered too moderate, a monitoring group said on Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on contacts on the ground in Syria, said the men were crucified on Saturday in Aleppo province. It added that their corpses were still on view.
The Observatory said clashes between rival Islamist groups in Syria had killed around 7,000 people since January, as militants from ISIS try to strengthen their grip on territory.
The infighting has complicated the insurgency and drawn in foreign fighters.
ISIS, a radical al-Qaida offshoot group, has captured areas on both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border after seizing the Iraqi city of Mosul on June 10 and sweeping towards Baghdad.
In Syria, ISIS has battled with groups such as the Nusra Front, al-Qaida's official Syrian wing, in the uprising against President Bashar Assad which started with pro-democracy protests but has descended into civil war.
