Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein said on Tuesday that said that the answer to terrorist murderers is the continuation of construction.

Eulogizing Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal, who was killed in an attack at the Ariel junction on Monday, Edelstein said, "We will continue to adhere to life. The community of Har Bracha will become a city." Regading Havat Gilad, which recently lost a resident to a terror murder, Edelstein said, "Havat Gilad will flourish, contrary to the will of the lowly murderers."
