At least 22 people were killed and more than 50 wounded when several explosions rocked a concert by the pop singer Ariana Grande at the Manchester Arena in the northern English city.

In a statement, Prime Minister Netanyahu said “the Israeli government denounces the terrible terror attack… and sends condolences to the families of the victims and hopes for a speedy recovery to the wounded.

“Terror is a global threat. Enlightened countries must work together to defeat it everywhere,” the prime minister said.

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely wrote on Twitter, “Deep sorrow on the loss of innocent young life in terrible Manchester attack. Israel with the UK in the fight against terror.”

Trump also addressed the attack at a joint press conference with Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen, calling terrorists “losers” and saying that ideologies that lead to the murder of innocents must be “completely obliterated.”

“[We cannot display] tolerance for continued bloodshed… [and the] slaughter of innocent people,” Trump said.
