Livni: I hope Abu Khdeir’s death ‘not an act of vengeance’
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni says she hopes the death of the Palestinian youth whose body was found in the Jerusalem Forest this morning was “not an act of vengeance,” adding that the circumstances of his death are still unclear.
She posts on her Facebook page that despite mounting reports of “price tag” attacks and hatred, Israel is still “a lawful state and not a terrorist society.” She vows that the “murderers” of the Israeli teens will be “found and brought to justice” through its legal mechanisms.
“Israel is a lawful state that knows how to strike its enemies without mercy,” she says.
