Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said on Monday that the Zionist entity was deliberately seeking to stoke unrest in the occupied West Bank but that Palestinians would not be provoked.
  
"The Israelis want chaos and we know it but we won't let them," Abbas said in comments at his West Bank headquarters, in response to an Israeli demand on Sunday that he calm a wave of protest in the territory.
  
"We want peace and freedom for our prisoners and no matter how hard they try to drag us into their schemes, we will not be dragged," he said.
  
Protests in support of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in Israeli prisons have been building and gained new momentum with the sudden martyrdom in his cell on Saturday of 30-year-old Arafat Jaradat, a former resistance member of Fatah movement.
  
Palestinian officials accused the Israeli occupation of torturing him to death. "We lost Arafat Jaradat who was arrested and came back in a coffin and this cannot pass lightly," Abbas said.
