Netanyahu: we must unite to defeat terrorism

Israel sent condolences to Turkey over the deadly wedding bombing in Gazintiep, calling for an international effort to fight terrorism.

“Israel expresses its condolences to the families of the victims in the city Gazintiep and Turkey, and sends its best wishes to the injured,” a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said.

“To defeat terrorism the international community must join forces and fight it with strength and determination,” the statement continued.

The bombing at a wedding in the southern city occurred just hours after Turkey’s parliament ratified a reconciliation deal reached with the Jewish state last month, ending a six-year rift and paving the way for the restoration of full diplomatic ties, Times of Israel reports.
