Father of terror victim urges more building

A week after his son was killed in a Jerusalem car-ramming attack, Rabbi Uri Sherki urges Israel to “strengthen our hold over the land” and increase construction in response to terror attacks.

“With every strike against us we need to build more, to reduce their [the Palestinians’] national aspirations,” he says, according to Hebrew media reports. “Strengthening our hold over the land is the right answer, and I will demand this of the prime minister.”

Shalom Sherki, 25, was killed last week in a terror attack in the capital.
