Minister calls for security cabinet to convene after West Bank stabbing
Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convene the security cabinet following a stabbing in the northern West Bank.
“We must restore deterrence immediately in order to end the Jewish bloodbath,” Ariel, a member of the pro-settlement Jewish Home party, writes on Twitter.
“We must respond with a strong hand including the destruction of homes, expulsion of terrorists’ families and revocation of all the ‘benefits’ and ‘prizes’ that they receive immediately,” he adds.
Today’s stabbing, in which a reservist was moderately wounded and an Israeli woman lightly hurt by shrapnel from IDF fire, comes after two Israelis were killed in a shooting attack at a nearby industrial park on Sunday.
