Danny Dayan, Israel's Consul General in New York, has thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation for thwarting an attack on a synagogue in Ohio.

Dayan noted, "Just a month ago, in the state bordering Ohio, the most murderous anti-Semitic event in United States history took place. We must double the uncompromising war against the anti-Semitic beast that is raising its head. We will continue to fight anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and brutal terrorism that tries to make us afraid to be proud of our identity."
