(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued the following statement on Friday: "Israel allows maximum freedom of movement in Judea and Samaria for both Israelis and Palestinians. Unfortunately, Palestinian terrorists take advantage of this freedom of movement to murder Israeli women, children and families by ambushing them at certain points on different routes." "34 civilians have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists in 2023, many of them while driving home. The most recent incident occurred when Bat-Sheva Nagari was murdered on Route 60 in Judea in front of her daughter. In order to prevent these heinous murders, Israel's security forces have implemented special security measures in these areas. This is what Minister Ben-Gvir meant when he said 'the right to life precedes freedom of movement.'"
