Responding to the furor surrounding comments made by Internal Security Minister Omer Bar Lev to US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland on "settler violence," MK Mossi Raz (Meretz) said:
"I was saddened to hear of the words of the Prime Minister in support of settlers and minimizing the phenomenon of violence. What I expect now of the Prime Minister is that he will marshal all the state's forces to put a halt to this dangerous phenomenon."
