PM Netanyahu Visits the Family of the Late Ali Dawabsha
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Friday, 31 July 2015), at
the Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, visited the family of Ali
Dawabsha, who was murdered this morning in his home. The Prime Minister said
at the end of his visit:

"I just came from the bedside of four-year old Ahmed Sa'ed. Sixty percent of
his body is burned. We're doing everything we can to save this young boy,
give him a life. His two parents are in other parts of the Israeli health
system. We're trying to give them the best treatment to save their lives.

When you stand next to the bed of this small child, and his infant brother
had been so brutally murdered, we're shocked, we're outraged. We condemn
this.

There is zero tolerance for terrorism wherever it comes from, whatever
side of the fence it comes from, we have to fight it and fight it together.

I spoke to President Abu Mazen right before I entered the hospital. I told
him of this visit and of Israel's absolute commitment to find the
perpetrators, bring them to justice.

We have to calm the spirits and recommit ourselves to our joint battle
against terrorism and extremism. It's something that all parts of the
Israeli government and all parts of Israeli society agree on. It's important
that we make a common cause with our Palestinian neighbors to give ourselves
a better future - a future free of violence, free of terror, a future of
peace."
