Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) responded: "A good week to everyone. Border Police forces in Jerusalem did what was obvious: They neutralized a terrorist who had the means and intention [to cause harm], with professionalism and determination. That is what the materials we have, and the initial investigation, have shown us."
"I would like to extend my support to them. I wish a complete recovery to the injured and I promise you that we will continue with our preparedness in all areas, to act against anyone who tries to harm the citizens of Israel."
