Hoyer Statement on Bus Bombing in Jerusalem

WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement in response to today’s bus bombing in Jerusalem: 

“Today’s bus bombing in Jerusalem was a reprehensible attack against innocent civilians, and those who perpetrated it must face justice.  Israelis have endured terror before and demonstrated their determination to live without succumbing to fear.  I have no doubt they will once again show the world that no acts of terror can shake their resolve.  Israel has every right to defend itself against terror, and the United States will continue to stand strongly beside our ally in solidarity.  My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this attack, and I hope for their speedy recovery.”
