Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, failed to condemn statements made this week by his National Security Minister, claiming he and his family's rights to travel safely on West Bank roads precedes the rights of Palestinians for free movement.
“Unfortunately, Palestinian terrorists take advantage of this freedom of movement to murder Israeli women, children and families by ambushing them at certain points on different routes," Netanyahu said. "In order to prevent these heinous murders, Israel's security forces have implemented special security measures in these areas. This is what Ben-Gvir meant when he said the right to life precedes freedom of movement".
