{Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the Palestinian president of incitement, after an attack which killed a baby in Jerusalem.}<\/p>\n
Mr Netanyahu said Mahmoud Abbas had provided encouragement for incidents such as the killing of the three-month-old by a Palestinian driver.<\/p>\n
The man drove his car into a crowd at a tram stop, injuring eight others. He died hours after being shot by police.<\/p>\n
A spokesman said the incident was being treated as a “terrorist attack”.<\/p>\n
“The driver… is a resident of [the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of] Silwan and has a terrorist background. He served time in jail for terror activity,” Micky Rosenfeld was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.<\/p>\n
The driver was identified as 21-year-old Adbel-Rahman Shaloudi, who was shot as he tried to flee the scene on foot.<\/p>\n
Shaloudi was the nephew of a leading bomb-maker from Hamas, the Islamist militant group opposed to Israel, who was killed in the West Bank in 1988.<\/p>\n
Israel’s Channel 2 television said Hamas had claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem attack, although the group has not issued an official statement.<\/p>\n
