Gush Etziyon Council head Shlomo Ne'eman commented on the attempted stabbing attack today at Gush Etziyon Junction.

"The attempted terror attack finished as it should. Any attempt at carrying out a terror attack in the State of Israel, should end without casualties and with the terrorist dead. We thank the Gush Etzion hero, a civilian, who identified the threat and acted quickly and with determination, which brought about the necessary result.”

Ne’eman added: “To our enemies we say that they don’t really scare us, and certainly will not weaken the mission of the residents of Judea and Samaria. The opposite is true: we are here forever, we will build Gush Etzion, and we will expand and develop this amazing place; and in all of Judea and Samaria. This is the land of our ancestors, and soon we will be a sovereign part of the State of Israel.”
