Statement by Official Spokesperson on the terrorist attack on Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in West Jerusalem

(New Delhi; March 7, 2008)

 We condemn the mindless terrorist attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in West Jerusalem last evening in which eight innocent young Israeli lives were lost and several others injured. Terrorism in any form cannot be tolerated.

The issues confronting West Asia today are serious in nature and have to be addressed through dialogue. The current cycle of violence, including disproportionate retaliation by Israel, which has been taken to unprecedented levels, will have to cease if the suffering of the peoples of the region is to end.
