Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said after the attack in Monsey, New York that "on the day we celebrate Hanukkah, we witness another criminal attack against Jews.
"This is the time for action and not talk; this is the time for enforcement that will deter the purveyors of hatred."
Ambassador Danon added that "anti-Semitism has no boundaries, it raises its head in the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world. The nations of the world must unite in the fight against the wave of hatred."
