Opposition Leader Shelly Yechimovich has responded to the arrest of the Jewish youths on suspicion of murdering Palestinian Authority woman Aisha Rabi by saying, "The murder of Aisha Rabi by extreme right-wing activists is a crazy hate crime and a terror act in every respect."
Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, the former Labor Party leader continued, "I hope that the prime minister will find some integrity in condemning the act and giving backing to the Shabak [Israel Security Agency], which is now dealing with the obstruction of an investigation and organized incitement against its activity."
