June 15, 2014   

The chairman of the Jewish Home, Minister Naftali Bennett, visited the family of 16-year-old Naftali Frankel, in the settlement of Nof Ayalon. Upon his departure, he said: "The kidnapping of 11th-grade children is the height of moral lows to which terrorist organizations can reach, and I say clearly: it will not pay off for any party involved in the act or in its planning or encouragement. "We will turn over every stone to bring the children home. In the face of terrorism, we will show an iron fist. This is the time for the entire people of Israel to increase their prayers, and to remain united, strong and determined - we will not be broken." At the end of the cabinet meeting tonight, Minister Bennett also spoke with the other families of the abductees. Bennett told them: "The government will turn over every stone to bring your children home. "The kidnapping of children will not go unnoticed and there will be no retribution for anyone involved, neither the terrorists nor their senders and supporters." Minister Bennett also visited the home of the family of the abductee Eyal Yifrach in Elad. "Only in recent days did the Palestinians form a government with the cooperation of the Hamas terrorist organization, and now we have been informed of the kidnapping of children on their way from school. The support of the Palestinian public and the distribution of candy in the streets is the result of the Palestinian Authority's anti-Semitic incitement against Jews.".
