Speaking about the attack on a mosque in northern Israel, Minister for the Middle East and North Africa Alistair Burt today said:
“I strongly condemn the attack on a mosque in Tuba Zangria, northern Israel last night. This intentionally provocative attack on a place of worship is appalling. I note that Prime Minister Netanyahu has also condemned this senseless act of violence. I welcome the stated determination of the Israeli authorities to pursue the criminals responsible and to bring them to justice.”
