Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thanked United States President Donald Trump, Sunday evening, for unequivocally condemning Saturday's murder of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, "and for pledging to fight those who seek to destroy the Jewish people.
In a letter to the Pittsburgh Jewish community, Netanyahu noted condemnation of the shooting from across America and around the world. He continued, "These statements are important. So too are actions that governments take to protect their Jewish citizens, whether that means providing security for vulnerable Jewish communities to passing tough laws against hate crimes." He concluded, "In this hour of immense grief, the Jewish community of Pittsburgh and all Americans who mourn today should know that the Jewish state mourns with you."
