Statement from Mayor James Condemning Terrorist Attacks in Israel

“I want to be clear. The City of West Palm Beach unequivocally stands behind Israel and the Jewish population. The unprovoked attack on Israel was a cowardly act of terrorism by Hamas – and the heinous killing and kidnapping of innocent people is completely unacceptable. It is especially sad given that this attack came at the end of the Jewish High Holy days – a time of celebration and reflection. Unfortunately, these terrorist organizations seek to divide people, instead of unite. We extend our heartfelt condolences and stand in solidarity.”

– Keith A. James, Mayor of West Palm Beach
