Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan responded to the Jerusalem bus attack, during a gathering of the Likud Youth Council.
“The event in Jerusalem has ended and we will assess the situation and learn lessons. It teaches us what I have said many times in recent days. we may have identified a downward trend (regarding attacks), but it was always clear that ahead of the Passover holiday, when there are more visitors to Temple Mount and more incitement on social media on the part of the PA… it was clear that there would be attacks,” Erdan said.
“We therefore prepared for events, just like the one that took place this evening, to our dismay. We continue to ask that the public be on the alert.”
