Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Venizelos’ statement regarding the terrorist attack on a Jerusalem synagogue

Hellenic MFA, Tuesday, 18 November 2014:

Below is Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos’ statement regarding the terrorist attack on a Jerusalem synagogue:

“We unequivocally condemn the abhorrent terrorist attack on a Jewish synagogue in Jerusalem, which cost the lives of four faithful, leaving others wounded.

We express our condolences to the families of the victims, and our wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded.

This murderous attack is not just one more irrational act of violence that strikes at the efforts to create conditions conducive to the promotion of the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian question. It is also an impermissible, intolerant strike at the multicultural and multi-faith nature of Jerusalem, and at the principles of peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance that must govern the conduct of all citizens, regardless of ethnic identity or religious beliefs.”
