In a post on Twitter, Minister and Jerusalem Mayoral candidate Zeev Elkin responded to the tragic accident in the dead sea area, writing:
"While we are in the midst of an important election system in Jerusalem, it is impossible not to be shocked by the terrible catastrophe that occurred in a car accident near the Dead Sea and robbed us of a whole family from the town of Psagot. Terrible pain! I am participating in the family sorrow and wish for a quick recovery to the wounded!"
