A spokesperson for European Union Foreign Affairs chief Federica Mogherini condems today’s terror attack in Jerusalem.
“This afternoon four Israelis were killed and many more injured in what appears to have been a deliberate terror attack by a truck driver on a group of people gathered in the Armon Hanatziv promenade,” a statement reads. “The EU condemns the murder of these four young Israelis, as well as any praise or incitement for terrorist acts. We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and hope that those injured will make a full recovery.”
The spokesperson adds: “There can be no justification for such a crime: the EU will continue to work with those who seek peace and denounce those who pursue violence and terror.”
