Spokesperson Nuland on the Mosque Attack in Northern Israel

U.S. Department of State Spokesperson Victoria Nuland

Such hateful sectarian actions are never justified.


2011-10-04

The United States strongly condemns the dangerous and provocative attacks on a mosque in the northern Israeli town of Tuba-Zangariyye, which took place on October 3. Such hateful sectarian actions are never justified. We note that the Israeli Government also strongly condemned the attacks, and we endorse stepped-up efforts by law enforcement authorities to act vigorously to bring to justice those responsible for this heinous act and similar attacks that have taken place in the West Bank.
