President Reuven Rivlin spoke with his German counterpart, Joachim Gauck, on the phone today (Wednesday), and offered his condolences for the German citizens who were killed in yesterday's attack in Istanbul.
The attack left 10 people dead, at least eight of whom were German nationals.
President Gauck thanked President Rivlin and said, "I know that Israel has had so many painful experiences with terrorism, and I appreciate - and am deeply moved by - your calling me today and expressing your condolences, which I assure you I will convey to the families of the victims with whom we are in close contact."
