Netanyahu Visits Tel Aviv Youth Center in Act of Solidarity
Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the gay youth center in Tel Aviv that was the target of a fatal hate crime just a few days ago. In an act of solidarity with the LGBT community in Israel, PM Netanyahu expressed his condolences and commitment to protecting gay rights: “Any murder is horrific, but this is twice so. The idea that someone just walked into a youth center and embarked on a killing spree – it’s like a terror attack,” the Prime Minister said. He added, “We all have basic rights and our first and foremost right is to be respected by others and to respect others.”
Meanwhile, communities across the U.S. have gathered for vigils to pay respect to the victims, as well as give support to the teenagers injured in the attack.
