‘Beyond human comprehension’: Israeli politicians react to terrorist murder of Holocaust survivor
Israeli politicians reacted on Friday to a terror stabbing in Herzliya that claimed the life of 83-year-old Holocaust survivor Ludmila Lipovsky.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said the attack was “beyond human comprehension” in a statement on X/Twitter.
“This is what we are dealing with. These are the terrorists we are fighting. And we will win. Evil won’t prevail,” Sa’ar added.
Opposition leader and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid called the attacks “serious” and “despicable.” He said he “supports the security personnel who neutralized the terrorist.”
“We must take a tough stance against terrorism. I share in the grief and send a hug to Ludmila’s family,” Lapid concluded.
“Only monsters are capable of murdering an 80-year-old woman in cold blood,” National Unity leader Benny Gantz said.
He expressed his condolences to Lipovsky’s family and praised the security personnel at the scene who “neutralized the terrorist and prevented others from being harmed.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said, “Once again, it has been proven that carrying a weapon saves lives,” according to Ynet.
Ben-Gvir added that the security officers who neutralized the terrorist would be rewarded.
