Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded in an interview with NBC to claims by Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna that he was blocked by settlers in Judea and Samaria last week. The prime minister said: "We are a law-abiding state, and people who violate the law are brought to justice. 99.9% of the settlers are law-abiding citizens, the offenders are about 150 young people who are not part of this community, they come from other areas in Israel." According to him, "When you look at things in proportion, you need to see that there are thousands of attacks, and on the other hand a small number of clear cases of lawbreaking."
