Statement from Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat
Tuesday, November 18, 2014

"Jerusalem bows its head in pain and sorrow on this difficult morning.
Jerusalem residents peacefully praying in a synagogue in the heart of
Jerusalem were cruelly slaughtered in cold blood while wearing their prayer
shawls.

I promise Jerusalem residents that we will continue to fight terror with
full force and we will do everything in our power to restore peace and
security to Jerusalem.

I call on Israel's national government and security forces to provide
Jerusalem with all of the support necessary to fight terror.

I call on the international community to strongly condemn this horrific act.

We will not surrender to terror. We will stand strong and defend our city
from those who try to disturb the peace of our capital."

Brachie Sprung
Senior Adviser Foreign Affairs & Media
Mayor of Jerusalem
