The UAE has condemned the “terrorist” attack that killed seven outside a synagogue in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem on Friday.

Axar.az reports the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation “affirmed that the UAE expresses its strong condemnation of these criminal acts, and its permanent rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism aimed at undermining security and stability in contravention of human values and principles.”

The UAE also offered its condolences “to the government of Israel and its people, and to the families of the victims of this heinous crime,” wishing the victims a speedy recovery.

Friday’s attack came after Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians on Thursday during a raid in Jenin, a flashpoint area of the occupied West Bank.
