Peres equates Netanya hit-and-run to murder

President Shimon Peres branded last week's hit-and-run accident that killed three in Netanya as murder.

"We're all going through a terrible time, and I am referring to the violence in Israel," he said. "The three women who were murdered in the hit-and-run – it's horrifying." Peres made the remarks during a swear-in ceremony held for judges in Jerusalem. (Aviel Magnezi)
