Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issues a statement denouncing the settler attack on IDF soldiers in the West Bank overnight.

“I strongly condemn the acts of rioting that occurred in the Binyamin area, in which IDF soldiers were attacked,” he says in a statement. “The State of Israel is a country of laws and no one can take the law into their own hands.”

He also calls for an investigation “to bring to justice anyone who violated the law and acted against our soldiers.”

“These people are a small minority who do not represent the absolute majority of settlers, who are law-abiding and serve in the IDF and security forces,” Netanyahu adds.
