There is an initial report of a stabbing attempt at the Gush Etzion Junction.There are no casualties, and the terrorist has been neutralized.

Gush Etziyon Council head Shlomo Ne'eman commented In the attempted stabbing attack today at Gush Etziyon Junction."The attempted terror attack finished as it should. Any attempt at carrying out a terror attack in the State of Israel, should end without casualties and with the terrorist dead. We thank the Gush Etzion hero, a civilian, who identified the threat and acted quickly and with determination, which brought about the necessary result."Ne"eman added: "To our enemies we say that they don"t really scare us, and certainly will not weaken the mission of the residents of Judea and Samaria. The opposite is true: we are here forever, we will build Gush Etzion, and we will expand and develop this amazing place and in all of Judea and Samaria. This is the land of our ancestors, and soon we will be a sovereign part of the State of Israel."

Bar Association head Adv. Avi Chimi demands that the courts also be included in the lockdown."The health of lawyers isn't expendable and if a full lockdown is decided, it must also include the courts, which are visited daily by hundreds and thousands of lawyers, along with litigants and civilians," Chimi said."We're witnessing a blatantly illogical situation in which the economy is completely shut down but they continue to abandon and endanger the health of lawyers and the general public, and sacrifice them In the altar of the Prime Minister's trial. The Bar Association opposes this negligent move and is working to change the government's decision."

Yisrael Beyteinu leader criticizes govt. handling of COVID crisis. 'Likud ministers are using different data.'

The Likud reacted sharply to the lagal advisor's announcement about the dates for issuing permits for Netanyahu's investigations, "Until now, the prosecutor's office claimed that the legal advisor's approval was not part of the investigation material and therefore should not be forwarded to defense attorneys."The State Attorney's Office's response proves that the State Attorney's Office lied and that there was never a legal advisor's approval to open an investigation against the Prime Minister, contrary to the Basic Law - therefore the investigations against the Prime Minister are illegal."All of this is enough to immediately announce the closure of the tailor-made cases against a powerful Right-leaning prime minister, that was conceived in sin, and continued with blackmailing witnesses, conflicts of interest, and covering-up investigations," they added.
