Israel said on Thursday it had asked Facebook and YouTube to remove videos it says have been encouraging Palestinian violence against Israelis in the past week.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon, providing an excerpt from a letter sent to Google Israel, whose parent company owns YouTube, said contact had also been made with Facebook.
Spokespeople for Facebook and Google Inc said they could not comment on specific videos or contacts with governments.
The letter to Google included two YouTube video links, one of which has already been removed.
