Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman wrote on his Twitter account, Tuesday morning, "Are you still asking yourself why Umm El-Fahm should be part of Palestine and not Israel? The sights from last night of many hundreds of people taking part in the funeral of the terrorist from their city with Palestinian flags, and cries of 'in spirit and blood, we'll redeem the Shahid,' will finally answer the question."
The chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party concluded, "The plan that I published many years ago to exchange territories and populations is more relevant than ever."
