President Isaac Herzog:
"I am appalled by the attack on Jewish institutions in Paris over Shabbat - including the synagogue in the Marais neighborhood which was built by my great-grandfather Rabbi Joel Herzog.
I spoke this evening with leaders of @Le_CRIF and the Jewish community in France, to express my solidarity, and support for the community.
I call on the French authorities to act swiftly, and firmly to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to defend the Jewish community from hatred and attacks of any kind.
