Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon on Saturday urged Israeli peace negotiators to rethink current talks with their Palestinian counterparts, following the shooting of an Israeli child in the West Bank.
He insisted that the Saturday shooting of a nine-year-old girl in the settlement of Psagot proves "those who support terrorism" can not be trusted partners in peace.
He then vowed to catch the alleged Palestinian shooter, saying "If a person shoots a nine-year-old girl, their blood is on their own head."
"We must put an end to hypocrisy of the Palestinian leadership," Danon added.
Meanwhile, Deputy Transportation Minister Tzipi Hotovely said "The rise in terrorist attacks requires Israel to stop negotiations".
"This is a result of the Palestinian Authority's system of incitement and two-faced policy. On the one hand, they say they want peace, and on the other hand they incite against Israel."
According to Hotovely, "nothing has changed since Arafat; there was no partner and there is no partner for peace."
Knesset Finance Committee chairman Nissan Slomiansky (Bayit Yehudi) called the terrorist attack "further proof that continuing negotiations with the Palestinian Authority from a position of weakness brings more terror."
Slomiansky called for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon to form am aggressive policy to stop terror, and wished the injured girl a speedy recovery.
MK Yoni Shetboun (Bayit Yehudi) called for a military operation "to bring back Israel's deterrence" after recent terror attacks.
