In the morning of 18 November, a synagogue in Jerusalem’s Har Nof
neighbourhood was attacked. According to media reports, four Israelis were
killed and several others injured. The two Palestinian attackers were shot
dead by the police.

We strongly and unequivocally condemn this act of terror.

The killing of civilians, whatever its motives, is an inhuman crime. We
express our sincere condolences to the relatives of those killed and wish
those injured a speedy recovery.

We note with profound regret that this is far from the first act of violence
in recent days against Israeli and Palestinian civilians, coming amid a
dangerous escalation of tension in East Jerusalem, which is spilling over to
other Palestinian territories and some parts of Israel. We are especially
alarmed by the attempts to give the conflict an extremely dangerous
religious dimension.

We call upon Palestinians and Israelis to take urgent measures to curb
extremists, who are threatening to irreversibly detonate the situation. From
a political standpoint, we continue to insist on the resumption of the
negotiation process between the two parties on the well-known basis of
international law, in the course of which all issues pertaining to the final
status of Palestinian territories should be resolved, including a mutually
acceptable solution to the issue of Jerusalem.
