Netanyahu to slain rabbi’s family: We’ll seek to enact death penalty for terror

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with the family of Rabbi Achiad Ettinger, killed in Sunday’s West Bank shooting attack.

Netanyahu, in the settlement of Eli, says he hopes to enact the death penalty for convicted terrorists but that this won’t happen “in a day,” Ynet reports.

Ettinger’s mother tells the PM she hopes the government will reinforce troop presence in the West Bank, which she claims has dwindled recently. “This is our country,” she says. “While traveling after recent events we haven’t felt safe.”
