Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting domestic criticism over the crisis, with three quarters of Israelis saying in a recent poll conducted by Israel's Channel 2 that they were dissatisfied with his response to the violence.
The survey also found that a full third of Israelis believed that more hard-right politicians, such as former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Education Minister Naftali Bennett, should be made responsible for responding to the attacks.
Some 5,000 left wing protestors gathered outside Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem on Saturday evening, with people calling for him to step down.
