Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Israelis need to unite in the face of terror, shortly after a terrorist rammed a car into pedestrians in Tel Aviv and stabbed several others.
“Our enemies want to hurt us in Tel Aviv, in Eli, and everywhere in the Land of Israel, and against them we need to show unity and determination, in Tel Aviv, in Eli, and everywhere in the Land of Israel,” he says, referring to a recent deadly attack in the West Bank settlement of Eli.
“Our heroic fighters are working even at this time to hit the terrorists and their emissaries in Jenin and we pray for their safety and success,” he continues, supporting the military’s ongoing operation in the West Bank terror hotspot.
“The Israel Defense Forces and security forces will lay their hands on every one of those who wish us evil,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
