Liberman blames Gush Etzion terror attack on government ‘feebleness’

Sam Sokol is a former political correspondent at The Times of Israel. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Haaretz. He is the author of "Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews"

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman blames this afternoon’s terror attack in Gush Etzion on the government’s “feebleness and submissiveness.”

“When terrorism smells weakness it raises its head and goes out to kill. Terror attacks are not a decree of fate, but a struggle that requires determination, strength and independence — everything that this government of negligence does not have,” he states.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid sends condolences to the victims and declares his support for “IDF and the security forces in their efforts to restore security and eradicate terrorism.”
