Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid responded to the successful rescue of the hostages from the Texas kidnapping in the Synagogue: “I am relieved to hear that all hostages have been freed from Congregation Beth Israel in Texas and will be reunited with their loved ones.”

“Thank you to federal, state, & local law enforcement and first responders for your efforts.”

“This terrible incident is another example of the continuing danger posed by antisemitism. Jews must be able to worship without fear. Jewish communities around the world are our family, and we stand together in the fight against antisemitism.”
