Netanyahu suggests gov’t can’t fight terror because of coalition’s Ra’am party

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu pays condolence calls to the families of two victims in yesterday’s shooting attack in Bnei Brak, calling for the government to act with a “strong hand” against terror.

In comments to reporters, Netanyahu hails the “heroism” of the police and says Israel is now “under a murderous terror assault,” after 11 people were killed in three attacks over the past week.

“We must restore peace and security to Israeli citizens,” he says.

“Unfortunately everyone sees a government dependent on the Islamic Movement isn’t doing this and probably isn’t capable of doing this,” he adds, referring to the coalition’s Ra’am party.
