“The terrible murder in Gush Katif is a brutal crime against civilians and children.  I share in the pain of the victims’ family and wish the wounded a speedy recovery.
Israel will not rest and will continue to fight terror until it is destroyed, just as we are fighting against it today.
The disengagement plan is a harsh and painful blow to the Palestinians.  The Palestinians will do everything to prevent its being accepted.
Today’s terrible murder is the Palestinian way of rejecting and disrupting the plan.
We will fight terror and do our utmost to prevent such incidents from recurring and, therefore, I will fight for my plan.”
