"We have been seeing an escalation and a loss of deterrence for some time," said council head Israel Gantz, "we demand immediate and deep actions to eradicate terrorism and restore deterrence on the ground."
The organization of bus drivers in Israel from the National Histadrut stated: "Public transportation in general and buses in particular are a symbol of government, and therefore the drivers and passengers are repeatedly attacked. The Ministry of Transportation must quickly adopt the plan to reduce violence and terrorism prepared by us. The blood of the drivers and passengers must not be wasted."
