US Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins President Joe Biden and Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides in condemning this morning’s terror bombings in Jerusalem.

“The United States stands resolutely with the people of Israel in the face of the terrorist attacks that occurred this morning in Jerusalem,” Blinken says in a statement.

“We express our condolences to the family of the deceased and wish all victims a speedy recovery. We remain in close contact with our Israeli partners and reiterate that our commitment to Israel’s security remains ironclad.”
