Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the bedside of Inbar Azrak, 27, an Israeli woman who was moderately wounded in a Molotov cocktail attack in Jerusalem Monday night.
Netanyahu recalls that he visited the wounded family members of a Palestinian baby killed early Friday in a West Bank firebombing, allegedly carried out by Jewish extremists, and calls on the international community to condemn acts of terrorism against Israelis.
“Terrorism is terrorism,” Netanyahu says, “We have a policy of zero tolerance toward terrorism. No matter where it comes from, we condemn it and fight it.”
He goes on to note that the international community had condemned the attack that killed the Palestinian baby, “and I expect them to join in [my] condemnation of the same terrorism when it is directed against Jews. I’m still waiting.”
