MK Sharren Haskel (Likud) released a statement in response to the terror attack in Gush Etzion, saying:

"The unbearable ease with which a 17-year-old boy goes on a murderous rampage is the direct result of a well-oiled, well-equipped incitement machine in the Palestinian Authority, from the education system to social networks to Abu Mazen, among other things, advocating a policy of financing terrorists and their families. They shouldn't be surprised the US is refusing to finance a terrorist exporter.

A job well done by the civilian who neutralized the terrorist and prevented him from killing other civilians. My heart is with the family of the murdered man. "
