PM SHARON’S STATEMENT FOLLOWING ATTACKS AGAINST THE U.S.

 

September 12, 2001

On behalf of the people of Israel, I wish to send our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the American people, President Bush and the entire United States government, following the terrorist attacks against the United States and against our common values.

The fight against terror is an international struggle of the free world against the forces of darkness who seek to destroy our liberty and our way of life. I believe that together, we can defeat these forces of evil. In this most difficult hour, all Israelis stand as one with the American people. Our hearts are with you and we are ready to provide any assistance at any time.

The Government of Israel has declared a day of mourning tomorrow (12 Sept.), as we bow our heads and share in the sorrow of the American people.
