Jason Greenblatt, United States Special Representative for International Negotiations, has condemned what he called the "brutal" attack in Samaria.
Writing on Twitter, Greenblatt also said, "Disgustingly, but not surprisingly, Hamas & Palestinian Islamic Jihad welcomed the attack & no doubt the Palestinian Authority will reward the terrorist under its pay for slay policy. I’m praying for the families of the victims & a speedy recovery for the injured."
