Sitesi personale
Il sindaco Ron Huldai, 71 anni , ha dichiarato alla radio dell'esercito
israeliano che l'occupazione è da biasimare per l'attacco di Mercoledì
sera, quando due uomini armati palestinesi, provenienti da un villaggio vicino a
Hebron, hanno aperto il fuoco nel caffè del centro commerciale .
".Noi, come Stato, siamo gli unici al mondo con accanto un popolo sotto occupazione, un popolo a cui neghiamo i diritti – ha detto – Siamo arrivati a 49 anni di occupazione, a cui io ho preso parte, e riconosco la realtà. Il fatto che soffriamo non ci porta a capire cosa andrebbe fatto. Non possiamo mantenere questa gente in una realtà nel quale sono occupati per poi aspettarci che raggiungano la conclusione che va tutto bene”. Nessuno ha il coraggio di cercare la pace quando c'è una tregua negli attacchi.
I leader hanno bisogno di coraggio non solo di parole . Dobbiamo mostrare ai nostri vicini che la nostra intenzioni è uno stato ebraico più piccolo con una netta maggioranza ebraica."
Il ministro della Difesa Eli Ben-Dahan ha definito tali commenti "bizzarri" e "deliranti".
Il caffè a Sarone è rimasto aperto nel pomeriggio , mentre due battaglioni costituiti da centinaia di soldati si sono riversati in Cisgiordania e il villaggio di Yatta è stato isolato .
I due aggressori sono stati identificati come Mohammad Makhamrah, 22 anni e suo cugino Mohammad Ahmad Makhamrah.
Le quattro persone uccise erano tutti gli israeliani e sono stati identificati : Ido Ben Aryeh, 42 anni , Ilana Nave, 39 anni , Michael Feige, 58 anni , Mila Mishayev, 32 anni.
I due aggressori palestinesi sono entrambi in custodia e uno di loro ha subito un intervento chirurgico dopo essere stato colpito dalla polizia.
Un membro del parlamento israeliano Bezalel Smotrich su Twitter ha scritto :
"Un terrorista che danneggia un ebreo non dovrebbe restare in vita "
Liberman ha rilasciato una dichiarazione: "La vita nel villaggio di Yatta non andrà avanti come al solito. Un villaggio che ha permesso ai terroristi di restare tra loro ,ne pagherà il prezzo. "
Un portavoce del movimento di Hamas con sede a Gaza ha elogiato l'attacco definendolo un' "operazione eroica".
Il leader della lista comune israelo-palestinese ,Odeh , ha definito l'attacco un "colpo terribile per i civili".
"Il mio cuore va alle famiglie. Un attacco contro persone innocenti è sempre riprovevole, non ci può essere alcuna giustificazione nello sparare ai civili in strada" aggiungendo che l'attuale coalizione di estrema destra ha contribuito ad "approfondire odio e violenza".
Altri membri della lista comune di Odeh hanno condannato l' 'attacco ma hanno definito la risposta del governo israeliano una "punizione collettiva immorale contro i palestinesi . Solo la fine dell'occupazione porterà la pace" ". Israele ha immediatamente bloccato le decine di migliaia di permessi concesse ai Palestinesi per entrare in Israele in occasione del Ramallah . Musa Muhamara, sindaco di Yatta, ha specificato che i due aggressori non appartenenvano a gruppi militanti noti

" Hebron, Yatta compreso, ha pagato un prezzo
pesante in termini di vittime e questo probabilmente ha influenzato il loro agire "Da ottobre almeno 207 palestinesi, 32 israeliani, due americani, un eritreo e un sudanese sono stati uccisi.
Tel Aviv mayor blames Israeli occupation for deadly cafe attack
Tel
Aviv’s mayor on Thursday blamed Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian
territories for a deadly attack carried out by two Palestinian gunmen
that left four Israelis dead in the Mediterranean city.
Labour Mayor Ron Huldai, 71, told Israeli army radio that the occupation was to blame for Wednesday evening’s attack when two armed Palestinian men from near Hebron in the southern West Bank walked into a popular cafe and opened fire on revellers.
"We might be the only country in the world where another nation is under occupation without civil rights,” he said. “You can’t hold people in a situation of occupation and hope they’ll reach the conclusion everything is alright."
Huldai added "no one has the courage" to find peace with the Palestinians, and he called for attempts to strike an agreement when there is a lull in attacks.
"There has been an occupation for 49 years, which I was part of and I know the reality, and I know leaders need courage to not just talk.
"We have to show our neighbours that we have true intentions to return to a reality of a smaller Jewish state with a clear Jewish majority."
Deputy Defence Minister Eli Ben-Dahan responded to Huldai by calling his comments "bizarre" and "delusional".
"I heard the mayor of Tel Aviv saying the ‘occupation’ is to blame, or that it’s because we don’t have a peace treaty with the Palestinians, and that’s why we have terrorism," Ben-Dahan told an audience at the Institute of National Security Studies.
"I want to remind him that there was terrorism here 100 years ago, and in 1929 Jews were murdered [in a massacre in Hebron] and there was no State of Israel. There wasn’t even an ‘occupation.’"
The cafe in Sarone Market in Tel Aviv remained open on Thursday afternoon, while an extra two battalions comprising hundreds of troops were poured into the West Bank as the attackers’ home town of Yatta was put on lockdown.
Army vehicles marshalled entry points to the village near Hebron, with soldiers stopping and searching all those leaving and entering.
The two attackers were identified as Mohammad Makhamrah, 22, and his cousin Mohammad Ahmad Makhamrah.
The four people killed were all Israelis and were identified as Ido Ben Aryeh, 42, Ilana Nave, 39, Michael Feige, 58, and Mila Mishayev, 32.
The two Palestinian attackers are both in custody, and one of them has undergone surgery after being shot by police.
Israeli parliament member Bezalel Smotrich tweeted on Thursday that he was "concerned" police hadn’t shot dead the two attackers at the scene, rather than arresting them.
"A terrorist who goes to harm Jews should not come back alive, period," he wrote.
Throughout the day on Thursday Israeli politicians flocked to the Sarona market, including Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman, Education Minister Bennet and leader of the opposition Yitzchak Herzog.
Before Israel’s security cabinet was due to meet and discuss a response to the attack Liberman released a statement that said: “Life in the Yatta village won’t carry on as usual. A village that has terrorists leaving its midst will pay the price.”
A spokesperson for the Gaza-based Hamas movement praised the attack, saying it was a "heroic operation".
Meanwhile the head of the Israeli-Palestinian Joint List Aymen said the incident was a "terrible blow to civilians".
"My heart goes out to the families. An attack against innocent people is always reprehensible, there can be no justification for shooting civilians in the street," he said.
Odeh added that the current far-right coalition Israeli government has contributed to a "deepening of hatred and violence".
Other members of Odeh's Joint List joined in the condemnations of the attack but they too attacked the Israeli government's "immoral collective punishment against the Palestinians" in response.
"We reject attacks on civilians in every way. Such an act does not advance Palestinian rights," Ahmed Tibi and Osama Saadi said in a joint statement.
The
two Joint List parliamentarians said "collective punishment" of
Palestinians for the Tel Aviv attackers would not solve the problem,
adding: "Only ending the occupation will bring peace."
Musa Muhamara, mayor of Yatta, said the two attackers were not members of any known militant groups according to Israeli daily Haaretz.
Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities.
Others were killed in clashes with security forces or by Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip.

"We reject attacks on civilians in every way. Such an act does not advance Palestinian rights," Ahmed Tibi and Osama Saadi said in a joint statement.
One of Israel's first responses to the attack was to revoke tens of thousands of Palestinian entry permits.
COGAT,
the defence ministry unit which manages civilian affairs in the West
Bank, said that 83,000 Palestinians would be affected.
The measures included freezing permits for 204 relatives of one of the alleged attackers.
Musa Muhamara, mayor of Yatta, said the two attackers were not members of any known militant groups according to Israeli daily Haaretz.
"We're
very surprised, and the only explanation for what happened is that the
two were influenced by all that has happened recently," he said,
referring to the wave of attacks since October. "It must be mentioned
that the Hebron area, including Yatta, has paid a heavy price in terms
of those killed and of incidents, and this apparently influenced them."
Violence since October has killed at least 207 Palestinians, 32 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese.Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities.
Others were killed in clashes with security forces or by Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip.
