Israeli politicians and leaders reacted to the terrorist attack that killed Tzeela Gez on her way to give birth to her fourth child on Wednesday night.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the attack on Thursday morning, saying he was deeply shocked. "This despicable event reflects exactly the difference between us and the vile terrorists whose goal in life is to kill us. I trust that the security forces, even in this case, will quickly reach the murderers and bring them to justice, along with everyone who helped them."
President Isaac Herzog wrote that the murder was "a criminal act of terror that chills every heart. Precisely at a moment of life, a life was cruelly taken. My heart goes out to the grieving family and to all her lovers and loved ones who are deeply shaken. We are all praying now for the well-being of the baby and the recovery of her injured husband, Hananel. Terrorism will not defeat the Israeli spirit. We will pursue terrorism everywhere, and we will not be silent. May her memory be blessed!"
רצח צאלה גז ז״ל, בדרכה לחדר לידה, הוא מעשה טרור נפשע שמצמרר כל לב. דווקא ברגע של חיים – נקטפו חיים באכזריות. ליבי עם המשפחה האבלה ועם כל אוהביה ואהוביה שמזועזעים עמוקות. כולנו מתפללים עתה לשלומו של התינוק ולרפואת בעלה הפצוע חננאל. הטרור לא ינצח את הרוח הישראלית. נרדוף את הטרור… pic.twitter.com/y23HizV0gE

Opposition leader Yair Lapid wrote: "A difficult and painful morning. Tzeela Gez was murdered in cold blood last night in a despicable terrorist attack. Our hearts are with her family, and we pray for the full recovery of her husband and the health of the little baby that the medical teams will deliver after the attack."

"Murderous terrorism will not break us. I trust the security forces to find everyone who was involved in the attack and bring them to justice. May her memory be blessed," Lapid added.
National Unity leader Benny Gantz wrote on X: "Very bad news this evening, the heinous attack in Samaria…Only human monsters are capable of shooting a woman in advanced pregnancy, this is the face of evil we are up against. In the face of this murderous terror, we must act with strength and determination, anywhere and anytime."
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu to restore all West Bank checkpoints following the attack. "I call on the Prime Minister to instruct the IDF to immediately and permanently restore all checkpoints in Judea and Samaria, and to fulfil his commitment to promote the enactment of the death penalty for terrorists. I wish a speedy recovery to those injured in the heinous attack and pray together with the entire people of Israel for their healing."
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on X, "There is much to say and to question, there is a bitter enemy that must be destroyed in Gaza and also here in Judea and Samaria, but in this difficult hour, I only ask all the people of Israel to pray for the healing of the wounded. 'Please God, please heal them.'"

'If there is no security in Samaria, there will be no security in Tel Aviv either'
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett said on X: "I pray with all my heart for them. Let there be no doubt: if there is no security in Samaria, there will be no security in Tel Aviv either. The enemy wants to murder us everywhere. We must eliminate it."
"Tzeela Gez was murdered by the sons of death on her way to bring life. Every Jew in the State of Israel should feel safe, everywhere in the country," Bennett wrote in a later post on X.
צאלה גז נרצחה על ידי בני מוות בדרכה להביא חיים. כל יהודי במדינת ישראל צריך להרגיש בטוח, בכל מקום בארץ. ללא ביטחון בברוכין, אין ביטחון בתל אביב. יהי זכרה ברוך pic.twitter.com/UPVUTHT7rv

Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan wrote: "Tzeela was a devoted, beloved and smiling woman, who only wanted to live a quiet life, and was murdered on her way to bring life. The council staff and the settlement are with the family and residents at this difficult time."
"I demand that the Israeli government razes the terrorist villages…Jewish blood will no longer be spilled in vain," Dagan added.
MK Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit) wrote that she is "unable to breathe" following the news of the terror attack. Son Har-Melech was notably the victim of a terror attack while pregnant in 2004, in which her husband was murdered.
"I can't help but go back 21 years. I was there too. I was also a pregnant woman traveling with her husband on the roads of Samaria, we too encountered a squad of murderers who fired at our vehicle. Shuli, my beloved husband, was murdered. And I, wounded, was taken to emergency surgery. My daughter Sarah was born then," she added.
"Yesterday, just as we were celebrating Sarah's engagement, the terrible news came. The media called, asking me to be interviewed. I couldn't. The pain was too great," she reflected.
"I imagined Tzeela Gez there, and her husband — that I was praying for his recovery. I imagined how excited they were about the birth, how much they had been waiting for this moment. How they decided that this was the time — now — to get in the car and drive to the hospital. And at that exact moment, a squad of terrorists gathered, deciding that this was the time to murder — to murder them just because they were Jews," she commented.

I arrived at this horrible place, this horrible house, at 1:00 AM, after two hours of sleeplessness, I asked for my money back, a blonde girl of about 50 years old named “Anna” told me that she wanted the money in cash right away, otherwise she would not let me out of the hotel, she told me that I would not be able to sleep in their bed, at 3 AM I went to look for an ATM to withdraw money, because I could not find one, after searching for a whole hour, in the Tbilisi cold, I returned to her at midnight to look for an ATM, but she did not give me my suitcase and passport, so I came back the next day and gave me the money in cash, she did not give me an invoice either, do not come near! They are deceiving the public, booking and all hotel websites! This is not a hotel, it is a very dirty, old house and it smells very bad.

"ב-7.10 נחטפה כל המשפחה שלי, אני, בעלי דוד, ושתי בנותינו אמה ויולי, אז בנות 3 בלבד", פתחה את נאומה שרון, אשתו של דוד קוניו החטוף בעזה. "דוד בעלי, אהבת חיי, והאבא של הבנות שלי, עדיין שם. התאומות ואני חזרנו ביום החמישים ושתיים. אמה ויולי שלנו חגגו חמש, בלי אבא שלהן. בשבוע הבא הן ילכו לגן חובה, והן יודעות שאבא לא יהיה איתן ביום הזה. הן יודעות שאבא שלהן שם. לפני כמה ימים, כשהשכבתי אותן לישון הן שאלו אותי 'אמא, את בטוחה שאבא יחזור?'".
"יש הצעה לעיסקה על השולחן, שחמאס כבר אמר לה כן", המשיכה. "האמריקנים רוצים שהחטופים יחזרו. הרמטכ"ל אומר שחייבים ללכת עכשיו לעיסקה. העם, אתם, כל אחד מכם, כאן בככר, במהלך היום בצמתים, בכל מקום, במספרים אדירים, כולם צועקים איתנו, כולם רוצים את החטופים בבית. אז למה אני לא יכולה להגיד לבנות שלי שאני בטוחה שאבא שלהן יחזור?"
