That's what the hawkish Israeli prime minister is being accused of in the wake of his decision to close Orient House, the Palestinian Authority's unofficial headquarters in the city. Israeli opposition leaders charged on Friday that Netanyahu made the move knowing that likely Palestinian unrest in the heart of Jerusalem would work for him on the eve of Israel's election.
