Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin condemned Friday’s terror attack on two mosques in Christchurch New Zealand, in which at least 49 worshippers were killed.
“Israel mourns the wanton murder of innocent worshippers in Christchurch and condemns the brazen act of terror in New Zealand. Israel sends its condolences to the bereaved families and its heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded,” Netanyahu said on twitter.
Rivlin wrote that the “murder of people at prayer, in their most holy and sacred place, is a depraved and despicable act. For people of all religions and of none, a red line has been crossed.”
“I condemn the terrorist attack on the mosques in Christchurch in the strongest possible terms and send my condolences on behalf of the people of #Israel to the families of the victims, the injured, the government and the people of New Zealand,” Rivlin wrote.
