Chairman of Religious Zionism Bezalel Smutrich wrote on Twitter: "Trying to understand what will be the moment when the remaining Knesset members will stop praying for the continued existence of this evil and dangerous government of the tired and confused left and the Islamic movement and understand Right for the people of Israel and the State of Israel. "
Right-wing factions within the coalition also expressed outrage at Laski. Their criminal acts encourage terrorism. "Communications Minister Yoaz Handel wrote on Twitter:" An illusory statement.
"For years the State of Israel has not offset the payment of terrorists' salaries from the PA. This is a difficult but essential step to reduce the motivation of Palestinian terrorists. Anyone who goes out to murder Jews must know that his home will be destroyed and his family will suffer."
"A political storm has broken out."

Following the outrage and criticism, Lasky recently issued a statement of apology and clarification.
"My statement was not in place and did not justify for a moment the criminal terrorism and I apologize for it. I unequivocally condemn the horrific attack yesterday. I share the grief of the families and send condolences to the families. There is no debate here for and against terrorism, because it says unequivocally "Against him and everything must be done to ensure security."
The chairman of the Blue and White faction, MK Eitan Ginzburg, also criticized the things and said: "There is no way to justify payments to families of terrorists. This is an unnecessary and unfortunate statement that should not have been said. "Security is offsetting funds intended for the families of the terrorists, and this is what should continue to be done."
