(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Prime Minister Netanyahu said Tuesday: We are in the midst of a terrorist assault focused on Jerusalem. Today, during morning prayers, as they were wrapped in prayer shawls and tefillin, four innocent and pure Jews were slaughtered - Rabbi Avraham Goldberg, Aryeh Kupinsky, Rabbi Kalman Ze'ev Levine and Rabbi Moshe Twersky. May their memories be blessed. The human animals who perpetrated this slaughter were full of deep hatred and terrible incitement against the Jewish People and its state. Hamas, the Islamic Movement, and the Palestinian Authority are disseminating countless lies and falsehoods against the State of Israel. They are saying that the Jews are contaminating the Temple Mount. They are saying that we are planning to destroy the Holy Places, that we intend to change the order of prayer there - this is all lies. The world sees this slaughter but, to our regret, does not demand that the Palestinians stop the wild incitement against Israel that is the root of the conflict. To my regret, there are those who currently insist on giving the Palestinians a prize in the form of unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state that does not recognize the state of the Jews.
