Prime Minister Naftali Bennett responded to yesterday's hostage crisis at the Beth Israel Reform synagogue in Colleyville, Texas at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday.
"This morning I received the good news that the hostages in Congregation "Beth Israel" in Colleyville, Texas - have been rescued," Bennett said
"I want to thank the law enforcement agencies for their swift response and courageous action that brought the hostages home safely to their loved ones," he said.
"This event is a stark reminder that the dark forces of antisemitism still exist. We must and we will fight it.
To the Jewish community in the US and diaspora Jewry around the world, I say: You are not alone. We are one family and we stand strong and united together."
