Religious Zionism MK Betzalel Smotrich called on the government to re-establish the northern Samaria Jewish town of Homesh as a firm response to terror after an Israeli yeshiva student was killed and two others were wounded, one moderately, in a shooting attack on the road near Homesh.
“It is simply forbidden to succumb to terrorism,” Smotrich said. “It must not be ‘understood’, no explanations must be sought, and it must not be confused between good and evil and between friend and enemy, as this government has done so far.
“The answer to the deadly attack on Homesh must be the re-establishment of the settlement and the normalization of the yeshiva that has been operating there since the expulsion!”
Smotrich quoted a passage in the Torah: ‘And I say to you, by your blood you shall live.’
“We are praying together with all the People of Israel for the swift healing of the wounded,” he added.
