(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid a condolence call on the family of the late Dafna Meir on Tuesday in Otniel. Later, he said, "Whoever wants to see the truth about the roots of the conflict between us and the Palestinians should come to Otniel and see here a wonderful family that only wants coexistence and peace. They should see the young people, inflamed by incitement, who come to murder women here, a mother of six, and in Tekoa, a pregnant woman; they come to murder them and say: We will destroy you all, in Tel Aviv and Jaffa as well." "This is the truth. There is humanity here and the desire for peace and coexistence on one side and boundless hatred on the other. This hatred has an address; this is incitement by the Palestinian Authority and other elements such as the Islamic Movement and Hamas....The root of the conflict is the refusal to recognize the Jews' right to have a state within any borders, here [in Otniel], in Tel Aviv, anywhere."
