Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his government condemn the murder of Rabbi Eitam and Na’ama Henkin HY”D, the Neria residents who were murdered in a shooting attack in the Shomron on Thursday night.
Meeting Secretary of State John Kerry in New York on Friday, Netanyahu said he appreciated U.S. condemnation of Thursday’s attack and noted that some Palestinians had praised the killing. He said the only way to deal with incidents like it is to fight terrorism and called on the international community to press Abbas and the Palestinian Authority to act.
Netanyahu and Kerry both also noted the mass shooting at a college in Oregon on Thursday that left nine people and the gunman dead. They said Israel and the U.S. were united in grief over the two incidents.

Nitanyahu should step down!
I guess it takes grief to unite U.S. and Israel. Earlier yesterday, Kerry did his best to show how ununited they are.
