Liberman orders no return of West Bank terrorists’ bodies
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Avigdor Liberman orders a freeze on the return of West Bank terrorists’ bodies following Wednesday’s deadly terror attack in Tel Aviv.
Last month, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who is in charge of the police, ordered a similar freeze for terrorists hailing from East Jerusalem.
Liberman’s decision appears to extend the freeze to the West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today instructed the National Security Council to examine the possibility that terrorists would be buried in a Muslim cemetery in Israel.
Israeli officials say the funerals of terrorists are often turned into mass rallies in support of terror attacks.
