Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke on Wednesday about the murder of Ganedi Kofman, who passed away earlier in the day after being hospitalized for over three weeks struggling to recover from an Arab terrorist stabbing attack at the Cave of Machpelah in Hevron.
At the start of a Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu sent his condolences to Kofman's family, noting the victim "was the gardener at the Cave of Machpelah," an ancient site where the Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs other than Rachel are buried.
"He was stabbed in a murderous assault several weeks ago. Sadly, he did not recover," said Netanyahu.
"This morning as well, I say to all those who would uproot us from the Tomb of the Patriarchs - except for a few years in the previous century, we have been there for almost 4,000 years and we will stay there forever. You cannot defeat us."
Netanyahu's comment was met with criticism by Eliezer Rudrig, chair of the Likud branch in Kiryat Arba/Hevron, and a member of the Kiryat Arba/Hevron Regional Council.
