Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his condolences to the families of the victims.
“We are condemning the murder which according to all signs was committed because of hatred of Jews,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “The state of Israel … together with all civilized peoples is committed to fighting against this plague.”
Michael Siegal, chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, also said in an emailed statement that “no community should have to face a moment such as this one.”
“Today, on the eve of Pesach, we are left to contemplate how we must continue our work building a world in which all people are free to live their lives without the threat of terror,” he said.
