Meretz Chairman MK Chaim Oron denounced the Tuesday stabbing of an Arab Jerusalem resident by Jews. “This is another level of a forceful outburst of Jewish terror from the rightwing," Oron said.

“The instigation of the right and the soft hand of the parties responsible for enforcement have caused our decline to the threshold of anarchy,” the Knesset Member added. Oron decried the silence of Likud chairman and opposition leader Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu and demanded that he and other nationalist leaders call for the immediate end to violence.
