Conference of Presidents Condemns Attack on Umm Safa

New York, NY – Harriet P. Schleifer, Chair, and William Daroff, CEO, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:

We strongly condemn the violence perpetrated against residents of the village of Umm Safa, including the burning of houses and vehicles. It is wrong – and detracts from the pursuit of genuine security and cooperation as Israelis and Palestinians strive for a peaceful future. We commend Israel’s political and security leadership for speaking out and working to ensure that innocents are protected.
