I send my condolences to the families of the victims and my wishes to the wounded for a speedy recovery. The anti-Semitic attack that was carried out specifically on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, joins a series of serious events against Jews around the world and demonstrates the need to fight against anti-Semitism."
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri said: "The shocking terrorist attack in Germany, on the holiest day for the Jewish people, again shows that anti-Semitism continues to strike Jews only because of their Judaism. We expect the German government and the other heads of state to fight any anti-Semitism."
