Israel will defend itself "with an iron will" against the attacks, said Wednesday, March 23, Binyamin Netanyahu after the bombing that killed one person and over thirty wounded in Jerusalem. The attack, unclaimed for now, is the first bomb attack since the arrival in power of the current Prime Minister in 2009.
It occurs when deadly clashes oppose five days since the Israeli army and Palestinian armed groups in Gaza. After a few hours delayed his departure for Moscow, where he had talks with Russian leaders, the Israeli prime minister said: "They (the Palestinian armed groups) are trying to test our will and determination, they will discover that this government, the army and the Israeli people have an iron will to defend their country ", just before departing for a tour of twenty-four hours in Moscow.
Palestinian side, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad condemned the attack, calling it "terrorist operation". And Hamas, which controls Gaza, seemed a gesture of appeasement by stating his desire to see peace return to the region. "We emphasize that the consistent position of the government (Hamas) is to maintain stability and ensure to restore the field conditions (calm) that prevailed during the previous weeks," said one of its spokesmen Taher al-Nono.
While in Cairo, the Egyptian foreign minister, Nabil Elaraby, urged Israel to exercise restraint, Barack Obama called "the groups responsible to cease these attacks on the field." "We emphasize that Israel, like other nations, has the right to defend itself," said U.S. President in a written statement.
France has in turn denounced the event of a "blind terrorism". The Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, has reaffirmed the solidarity of France with the "Israeli people, scarred by this heinous act." The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has also held the act "unacceptable" and requested "an immediate end to acts of terrorism and violence against civilians in order to prevent an escalation and loss human lives.
