Coalition Chairman Yariv Levin called Tuesday morning's fatal attack at the Tapuach Junction in Samaria (Shomron) by saying, "the Palestinian answer to the new peace initiatives of [United States Secretary of State] John Kerry and further proof that every easing [in restrictions] given the Palestinians results immediately in harm to Jewish lives."

Levin added, "I call on the army to immediately close the Tapuach Junction to Palestinian traffic and to re-establish the roadblocks that were removed, in order to ensure that a similar incident does not happen again."
