Meng Issues Statement on Jerusalem Synagogue Attack

U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, today released the following statement on the terrorist attack at a Jerusalem synagogue:

"I am horrified and appalled by the barbaric murders of innocent civilians - which included three Americans - who were killed while praying at a synagogue in Jerusalem, and I denounce this unconscionable and cowardly attack in the strongest possible terms.

This brutal crime was pure evil. I support Israel's right to respond, and I call on U.S officials to assist Israel in any way they can.

I extend my deepest sympathies to all those impacted by this terrible and senseless loss of life, and I ask all Americans to join me in condemning this horrific and heinous act.

I stand in solidarity with Israel during this very difficult time."
