Singapore strongly condemns the abhorrent attack outside a synagogue in Jerusalem on 27 January 2023 which resulted in numerous casualties. We express our condolences to the families of the victims and wish the injured a swift recovery.
Singapore is deeply concerned about the escalation of violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank. We mourn the loss of innocent lives and injuries to Palestinian civilians in Jenin on 26 January 2023. We urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint and de-escalate tensions to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace and security.
