Liberman: Neither settlements nor peace talks behind attack

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says Jewish presence is Israel was behind today’s ramming attack in Jerusalem in which four soldiers were killed, and “not any other reasons.”

“Its clear that this murderous terror attack did not happen for any other reasons than this: Because we are Jews and because we live here in the Land of Israel,” Liberman says during a visit of the site of the attack.

“There was no other reasons for it and there is no need to search for justification – not Jewish settlements and not peace negotiations, just terror, inspired by Islamic State,” he adds.

Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said the attack was inspired by the upcoming Paris peace conference and should be taken by the international community as proof that the Palestinians are not interested in peace.
