Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will present a series of measures to the Cabinet of Ministers for discussion and approval as part of the response to the terrorist demonstrations.
After the shooting at the Ateret Abraham synagogue on Friday night, Netanyahu called an emergency meeting by phone, saying that “the government must act decisively and calmly.” “We urge people not to take the law into their own hands, for that we have the army and the police,” the politician stressed.
In Jerusalem, the attack killed at least seven people and injured several, including a child. According to Israeli authorities, the suspect started shooting as he was entering the synagogue and was killed by police, Fox News reported.
