Jerusalem mayor says city will fight all attempts at violence
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat condemns the stabbing at the gay pride parade, saying it was “an attempt to harm the fabric of life in the city and prevent the basic right of freedom of expression.”
“We won’t allow a single excuse for violence of any kind. Jerusalem is a place for all, and we will continue to fight together with the Israel Police against all who attempt violence to harm another,” he says. “We will continue to support all groups and communities in Jerusalem and won’t be deterred by those who try perverse ways to prevent this.”
