Opposition chief calls on Netanyahu to condemn ‘insane’ murder of Palestinian

Opposition leader Shelly Yachimovich calls the murder of Palestinian woman Aisha Rabi an “insane hate crime and nothing short of a terror attack.”

The stoning death by suspected Jewish teenagers, since arrested by the Shin Bet, is likely to fuel revenge attacks and a chain of bloody events, Yachimovich adds.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Zionist Union MK calls on him to have the “integrity” to condemn the killing but adds that it will be hard for the premier to do so since he is himself “wildly inciting” against law enforcement bodies.
