President Reuven Rivlin and Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel offered paid a condolence call, Sunday afternoon, to the family of Hallel Ariel of Kiryat Arba', who was murdered by a terrorist last Thursday. Earlier, they participated in the funeral of Rabbi Michael Mark, who was murdered by a terrorist on Friday.
Minister Ariel said, "The personal pain is big, but our revenge must be a national one of building and planting." He noted that Rivlin's family was butchered and banished in Arab rioting in 1929 in Hevron. He said, "The settlers in Judea and Samaria in general, and the southern Hevron hills in particular, continue in the paths of the forefathers and foremothers and the first settlers in Hevron, including the Rivlin family...."
