Just three hours after the March 29 terrorist attack in the city of Bnei Brak in central Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu’s image flashed on the digital attendance board in the Knesset, signifying that the opposition leader was in the building. Within minutes, Knesset members Yariv Levin and Shlomi Karhi of his Likud party had joined him there.
It was close to midnight, and of all the 120 members of Knesset, they were the only ones in the building. While this was happening, Israelis were glued to their TV sets, watching the chilling news from the third deadly attack in a week.
