Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir commented on last night's events in eastern Jerusalem.

"Congratulations to the heroic Border Patrol soldiers doing their utmost to prevent riots in the Shuafat neighborhood of Jerusalem over the past day. I offer them our full support in their war against the terrorists," said Ben-Gvir.

"Throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces is an attack on all we stand for. I offer my full backing to the soldiers to put an end to these attacks by all means necessary. We will not allow our soldiers and policemen, as well as our sovereignty over Jerusalem, capital of Israel, to be harmed," he added.
