Commentator Elchanan Groner published a sharp commentary on his the source Friday morning, directly blaming Israel's political and military leadership for the deadly incident in Huwara earlier this week, in which a Jewish man was killed. Groner's post accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and Foreign Minister Israel Katz of showing weakness and enabling the killing by failing to take decisive action against Palestinian terrorism. The commentator specifically criticized the arrest of a farm owner who fired shots in the air during the Huwara incident, and the military's focus on 'settler violence' instead of dismantling the villages of the perpetrators. Groner called for immediate retaliation: destruction of the attackers' villages, approval of new settlements and farms in the area, and a complete reversal of what he described as a failed policy. The post echoes a growing chorus of right-wing criticism of the government's handling of security in Judea and Samaria, particularly following the October 7 massacre.
