Science Minister Ophir Akunis has responded to the murderous shooting attack in the Samarian town of Barkan by saying, "A cruel and despicable murder took place today in Samaria. The two-legged animal executed Ziv Hajbi, may his blood be avenged and Kim Levengrond, may her blood be avenged, in cold blood."
Akunis continued, "Whoever executes innocents should be sentenced to death. I supported and I strongly support the death penalty for the terrorists."
