Referring to the arrest of the terrorist responsible for planning an attack on IDF soldiers Eliraz Peretz and Ilan Sviatkovski, who were killed on the Gaza border in 2010, MK Nir Barkat (Likud) expressed his hope that their families would feel a measure of closure.
"I know that this arrest brings no consolation for your losses," Barkat said, "even after the passage of years. But I still hope that the security forces feel some pride at their achievement, and at the fact that even after such a long time, the long arm of the State of Israel reaches all its enemies. May the memories of Eliraz and Ilan be for a blessing."
