Il premier Benyamin Netanyahu ha dichiarato lutto nazionale in Israele domenica. "Ci uniremo tutti nel dolore delle famiglie e in preghiera per i feriti", ha aggiunto dopo aver finito la visita sul luogo del disastro. "Ci sono state qui scene strazianti: persone schiacciate a morte, inclusi bambini. Gran parte dei morti ancora non sono stati identificati". "È stato - ha concluso - uno dei peggiori disastri nella storia del Paese. L'operazione veloce di salvataggio ha evitato un bilancio ancora più pesante"

"È chiaro - ha spiegato - che una indagine indipendente sia necessaria su tutti gli aspetti relativi alla programmazione dell'evento, ai preparativi, alle responsabilità, alle infrastrutture"
