The Chairman of Yisrael Beyteinu, MK Avigdor Liberman, commented on the attack in Samaria.

"A serious shooting attack in Samaria and all because of clear incitement on the part of Abu Mazen. The same Abu Mazen with whose emissaries the Negev met today on Netanyahu's orders. Netanyahu does not learn from past mistakes and conveys weakness to our enemies and those who have to pay the price are the citizens of the State of Israel. I share in the deep sorrow of the families. May the victims rest in peace."
