Netanyahu: Jerusalem attack ‘another attempt to murder Israeli citizens’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a suspected car-ramming attack at Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market is “another attempt to murder Israeli citizens.”
Netanyahu is speaking at a ceremony to open Memorial Day events as Israel commemorates those fallen in war and terror.
“Minutes ago, not far from here, there was another attempt to murder Israeli citizens,” Netanyahu says, adding that the incident “reminds us that the Land of Israel and the State of Israel were acquired through many tribulations.”
