Israel Policy Forum condemns the murder of Dvir Sorek, whose death is doubly tragic as he is the second member of the Sorek family to be killed in a terrorist attack. No Israeli should ever be considered a legitimate target for murder based on where he or she lives, which runs contrary to any sense of justice or morality. Terrorism has no legitimate excuse, and we hope that Sorek’s murderer is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice. This terrorist attack must be condemned by all who truly seek a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the Palestinian leadership.
