Prime Minister Sharon expressed his outrage over the murders, and demanded that the Palestinian Authority cease its media incitement.
Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, visiting Gush Katif today, said that those who perpetrated the shocking murder in Tekoa, as well as those who sent them, will pay for their crimes.
National Infrastructures Minister Avigdor Lieberman, a resident of Nokdim, Tekoa\'s nearest neighbor, said, \"It\'s time that we realized that we are dealing with a bunch of cannibals.\" He mentioned the sniper murder of 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass and the double lynching in Ramallah in this connection.
Shinui party leader MK Tommy Lapid said that the murder demonstrates \"cruel sadism, a testimony to an abyss of hatred. This hatred is worse than any security aspect of this dispute.\"
MK Michael Kleiner (Herut): \"The spilt blood of Israeli children screams out to the government of Israel not to remain silent, but rather to conquer Area A, to expel Arafat and his gang of murderers, and to seize the weapons storehouses.\"
Minister Rehavam Ze\'evi called for the blocking of PA broadcasts.
The Yesha Council said that it is \"sick of the government\'s expressions of condolences,\" and demands that Sharon recognize that Arafat is an enemy and not a partner.
National Religious Party head Rabbi Yitzchak Levy told Arutz-7 today, \"We\'ve been saying all along that the government must initiate actions against the terrorism centers and the weapons storehouses, and not merely react to each attack individually... The government must go into [PA-controlled] Area A and attack the training grounds, and the storehouses, and make war against them!... Sharon\'s hands must be tied, either by the Americans or by Shimon Peres. I have no doubt that our lack of reaction encourages terrorism and murder, and erodes our deterrence power...\"
