Netanyahu: Citizens must not take law into own hands
- 9 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued on Monday to blame the Palestinian Authority for using social media to incite Palestinians to commit attacks against Israelis, and called on civilians not to take the law into their own hands after Sunday night's deadly attack , that ended with the lynching of an Eritrean mistakenly taken to be a terrorist.
"The citizens who are being attacked have responded resourcefully, but the crowds which happen upon these scenes must turn to security forces - no one should take the law into their own hands," Netanyahu said, and added that, "We will announce a number of steps in the coming days, we cannot allow Israeli citizens to incite acts of violence that cost innocent people their lives."
MK Avigdor Lieberman criticized Netanyahu on Monday afternoon, saying that, "When the prime minister receives the Joint Arab List in his office with much fanfare, he both legitimizes them and provides them with a nice check - now we are reaping the results."
