WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) today released the following statement on the heinous attacks at a synagogue in East Jerusalem:

“I am appalled by the disturbing news out of Jerusalem today. This barbaric attack on innocent people in a house of worship is heinous and cannot be condemned strongly enough. Palestinian leadership can and must do more to end terrorist attacks perpetrated against innocent Israelis. I offer prayers for the victims’ families—including the three Americans killed in the attack—and continue to support Israel’s right to defend its citizens.”
