Member of Knesset Motti Yogev (Jewish Home) has responded to the attack at the Assaf junction, in which two Israelis were killed and two others wounded.
Writing on Twitter, Yogev said, "The large number of attacks in Judea and Samaria is inconsistent with the desire of the defense establishment to reduce the forces in Judea and Samaria. I call on the prime minister and the defense minister to freeze the reduction of forces and to reassess the security situation, in order to give them more freedom to create deterrence, defense and security for the residents of Judea and Samaria."
