Lapid: Terrorists seek to divide us, prevent peace; ‘they will not succeed’

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid opens his statement at the end of the Negev Summit with a condemnation of yesterday’s terrorist attack in Hadera.

“Last night, for the second time in a week, terrorists struck in the heart of Israel.”

“It was murder for the sake of murder, terror for the sake of terror,” he says.

The minister says terrorists wish to sow disunity and prevent peace. “They will not succeed.”

Lapid pledges to continue on the “path of peace,” and stresses that all the guests at the summit condemned the attack.
