The CEO of the Yesha Council, Omer Rahamim, commented in an interview with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News on the murderous terrorist attack that took place on Monday near Kedumim in Samaria.
He stressed the growing danger posed by Iran in the region. "Today's attack is another painful and sad expression of what we have been saying for many months now – Iran seeks to establish a foothold within Judea and Samaria, understanding that its arms in the north and south have been severed."
Rahamim sharply criticized the Security Cabinet's decision-making and called for immediate action. "The Cabinet must wake up. There is a clear and immediate threat that is not being handled as it should. We must act quickly and decisively."
