German officials warned of the danger of a new Palestinian intifada Monday as violence continued in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Two Palestinian teenagers have been killed in separate clashes with the Israeli military. A 13-year-old boy was shot dead by Israeli soldiers near Bethlehem yesterday and on Sunday night an 18-year-old boy was killed at a checkpoint near Tulkarm.

The Red Crescent reported that about 450 Palestinians had been injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers and settlers in just 24 hours.

“What possibly awaits us here is something like a new intifada,” said Martin Schaefer, a German foreign ministry spokesman.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is due to arrive in Berlin on Thursday for talks with Angela Merkel.

The comments come a day after Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, called on the UN to extend international protection to Palestinians “before things get out of control.”
