World leaders and representatives from several countries condemned Friday’s terror attack, in which Rina Shnerb was murdered and her father, Eitan, and brother Dvir were severely injured.
The horrific attack shocked many around the world, and prominent diplomatic figures expressed their regret over the horrific attack and condemned the attackers.
Nickolay Mladenov, the United Nations’ Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, condemned the attack, calling it a cowardly act. “Shocking, heinous bomb attack in the West Bank today. There is nothing “heroic” in murder! NOTHING! It is a despicable, cowardly act! Terror must be unequivocally condemned by ALL”
Jason Greenblatt, the US’s Special Representative for International Negotiations, decried the attack as “another savage attack by Palestinian terrorists kills an Israeli teenager enjoying time with her family. This isn’t the path to peace, just endless suffering. May her memory be a blessing. Our prayers are with her family especially her father & brother also wounded in the attack.”
The ambassadors to Israel from the US, EU, UK and Cyprus have all issued heartfelt statements wishing those injured a speedy recovery, and regretting the loss of life in the terror attack.
Shnerb was buried on Friday, and thousands attended her funeral. Her brother and father weren’t able to attend her funeral due to their severe injuries.
