(JNS) Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Saturday condemned the critical comments made Friday by Tor Wennesland, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, following a terrorist attack. Gantz praised the Border Police officer that neutralized the terrorist and added, "I fully condemn the attempts to present the incident in a false and manipulative manner, and the statement by the UN envoy to the Middle East against the officer, who functioned with determination and professionalism." "The officer who neutralized the terrorist and all IDF and Border Police combat personnel have full backing to continue to act against terrorism and to preserve the security of Israeli citizens."
