NEWARK, NJ – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) made the below statement following a terrorist attack in the Palestinian village of Douma.

“Last night’s attack in Douma is despicable and I condemn it in the strongest of terms. Prime Minister Netanyahu has rightfully ordered Israeli security forces to use all means possible to bring these abhorrent murderers to justice. Extremism in the name of righteousness and violence in the name of justice must be rooted out.

“Above all, I offer my thoughts and prayers to the Dawabsheh family and firmly believe that no parents should have to endure such heartache.”
