Tal, the widow of Meir, who was murdered in an attack near Hermesh in Samaria, spoke of the terrible loss. She appealed to the prime minister and ministers to restore the checkpoints on Judea and Samaria roads.

"We could still laugh, support, go to bed hugged, our lives were cruelly taken from us. We will continue to live here and establish more communities," she said. Meir Tamari was laid to rest in the cemetery last night.
