MK Dr. Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) blamed the meetings in Washington DC for the terrorist attack that killed four Israelis in Hebron, statng that the terrorists timed their attack to coincide with the meetings in Washington DC.
"The blood of those killed on the head of Netanyahu," said Ben-Ari. He blamed PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas as well. Ben-Ari continued, "Now it is clear. The most violent periods are only when there is a political process. Netanyahu should immediately freeze the talks to focus on ensuring the safety citizens of Israel."
Several other Knesset Members commented on the attack and accused the PA of harboring terrorists.
