Our thoughts are with all victims and all those taken hostage, and their families and friends. We are shocked and appalled by the atrocious violence that has been perpetrated by the terrorists and strongly condemn these barbaric acts. They cause unspeakable suffering for all civilians.
We stand in solidarity with Israel.
