(Jpost).Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday condemned Saturday night's deadly shooting attack at a gay community center in Tel Aviv and promised to bring the perpetrator to justice.
"I unequivocally condemn the shocking murder," Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. "I have spoken with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch and stand by the police in searching for and finding the killer. We will bring him to justice and will prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law."
Netanyahu sent his condolences to the families of the two people killed in the attack, and wished the wounded a speedy recovery.
"I say to the Israeli people: We are a democratic country, we are a country of tolerance, a country of laws, and we must respect every person, whoever and wherever he is," he said.
President Shimon Peres said in a statement that "the dreadful murder that was committed yesterday in Tel Aviv against teenagers and young people is a murder that a cultured and enlightened people cannot accept."
"Murder and hate are the two most terrible crimes in society," Peres said in a statement. "Police must make a supreme effort to capture the loathsome murderer and the people must join together in condemning this despicable act."
