Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday expressed outrage after five people were stabbed during a Hanukkah celebration at the home of a Hassidic rabbi in a New York town with a large ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
“Israel strongly condemns the recent displays of antisemitism including the vicious attack at the home of a rabbi in #Monsey, New York, during Chanukah,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
“We send our best wishes for recovery to the wounded. We will cooperate however possible with the local authorities in order to assist in defeating this phenomenon.”
