The US ambassador to Israel gave Israel’s government “a lot of credit” for its approach to the Palestinian issue during Ramadan, when terrorists continued their annual tradition of violence and deadly attacks.

Thomas Nides, who serves as US Ambassador to Israel, commented on Tuesday that Israel’s government deserves “a lot of credit” for the way it handled the situation in Jerusalem during the past month.

During this period, Palestinians observed Ramadan, a month during which there is traditionally a sharp uptick in Muslim violence and acts of terrorism directed at Israelis.

“I think things went pretty well,” Nides commented at an event hosted by the Atlantic Council, reported Times of Israel.

Notwithstanding Nides’ remarks, Israel weathered a vicious terror wave during that period in which 16 people lost their lives in deadly attacks launched by Palestinian terrorists.
