Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife, visited today (Tuesday) Adel Benita and her son Nathan, who are hospitalized at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital after being injured in a terror attack in the Old City last Saturday night.
Netanyahu told 22-year-old Adele: "This is a cruel act, you are a hero. You did a heroic and bold act when you wanted to call for help. This is supreme bravery and extraordinary strength of mind.".
After the visit, Netanyahu added: "I was impressed that there was an extraordinary girl here in her bravery and her mental strength. I think she went through agony, in those minutes when she ran wounded and knew she had to save her children, in the face of unparalleled cruelty.".
""I don't think it's possible to define in human terms what we experienced here, the evil and cruelty are simply indescribable. There is a deep hatred and evil here that is impossible to even describe or imagine.".
Netanyahu further said: "This is really murder, slaughter, I don't know how to describe it, and in my opinion, every single person on that street who abused her and shouted at her and laughed in her face and kicked her and drank Coke in her face, of a woman who is perhaps going to die and in those seven seconds her husband was murdered, simply every single one of them is a murderer, the lowest possible person.
""I hope that everyone will serve their sentence and that we will prevail and that Jews will not face slaughter like this, as I would not wish on anyone.".
From the hospital, Netanyahu went to the settlement of Beit El to comfort the family of Nehemiah Lavie, who was also murdered in an attack in the Old City when he came down from his house to the sound of Adel's cries and was killed in a fight with the terrorist.
Netanyahu heard about Nehemiah from his widow, Neta, and said: "Nehemiah was a great and extraordinary man, with rare qualities and devotion. The separation is unbearable.".
