“In recent days, violent attacks have been carried out by Israelis in Judea and Samaria against innocent Palestinians. These attacks contradict every moral and Jewish value; they constitute, in every way, nationalist terrorism, and we are obliged to fight them.”
“The IDF, ISA and Israel Police are committed to continuing to operate with determination and using all the means that are at our disposal to maintain security and the law in Judea and Samaria.”
“The IDF will divert and reinforce security forces to prevent incidents of this type from occurring in Judea and Samaria, and the ISA will conduct an increased number of arrests, including administrative arrests, of the rioters who act in a violent and extreme manner inside the Palestinian towns.”
“We call on the leaders and educators in the communities to publicly denounce these acts of violence and to join the effort to fight against them.”
PM Netanyahu sent the following message to all Israeli residents before Shabbos:
“Israeli citizens,
We continue to change the equation against the terrorist organizations. The IDF and the security forces carried out a bold operation in Jenin using combat helicopters and countermeasures using a UAV for the first time in 17 years. We will use every tool at our disposal to protect the citizens of the country.
This week I convened the cabinet to fight the cost of living and we made important decisions – to drop the barriers to importing products that have passed European standards. What is good for Europe is good for Israel.
Electrical products, food, perfumes – more brands, more competition and less price.
We will pass the laws required to open the economy to competition. Every citizen will feel it in the cart at the supermarket and in their pocket.
I thank you for the tremendous support.
Shabbat Shalom!”
