Netanyahu vows to enforce rule of law
  • 8 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday visited the site in Tel Aviv where a terrorist shot two people dead and wounded several others, vowing that the government would enforce the rule of law and defend Israel's sovereignty.
"Those who wish to be Israeli should be Israeli all the way, in both rights and duties, and the first and supreme duty is to abide by the country's laws."
Netanyahu said he appreciated condemnations of the violence by many in the Arab population.
"I must say that I expect all the Arab members of Knesset, all of them, without exception, to condemn the murder, without hesitation and without obfuscation," the prime minister stated.
"Murder is murder."
He continued: "Among the Arab citizens of Israel there are many who are coming out against the violence and calling for there to be full enforcement of the law in their towns, and yet we know there is wild incitement by radical Islamists against Israel in the Arab sector –incitement in mosques, in the education system, and on social media networks.
