Netanyahu blamed attack in Brussels to Incitement Against Israel

Miriam and Emmanuel Riva, two Israeli in his 50s living in Tel Aviv, are two of the four people killed on Saturday afternoon shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels. The third victim is a French national who worked at the center. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has confirmed this morning in a brief statement that two of the victims were Israeli citizens. Local media suggest that the couple of tourists did not carry identity documents at the time of the attack, so that their identification has been slower than usual.

The Belgian authorities have announced that the shooter was a man who acted alone, and was well prepared. The suspect interrogated on Saturday has been released. The Interior Ministry has asked Belgian citizen collaboration to identify the murderer. Disseminate images of the shooter.

Israeli President Shimon Peres has already contacted Maurice Sosnowski, spokesman for a Belgian Jewish community to inquire about the details of the investigation. Israeli Foreign Sources indicate that it is not clear whether there was a single assailant or more, but it is ” clear” that it was an attempt ” thought, calculated ” and not an impromptu event, similar to Toulouse March 2012 at the gates of a Jewish school.

Peres, after showing his “astonishment and deep sadness” at the death, has offered to assist in the clarification of the case. “If we can do something, tell me directly,” he transmitted Sosnowski.

The building, as he assured the Government of Israel, had no extra vigilance for harboring a Jewish agencies, as the museum was located in a block of multiple uses, not just occupied by this community. “It was an easy target,” have recognized the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronot sources.

While Israeli officials have recommended to synagogues and other cultural centers linked to the Jewish community to increase their security measures across Europe, the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, denounced this attack is an “act of incitement result ” against “the State of Israel.” Hours after the attack in Brussels, two Jewish brothers were attacked by a group of men next to a synagogue in Paris, reports the Times of Israel. Both are hospitalized with bruises.

As Peres, Netanyahu calls on the international community and the European Union in particular, to pay more attention to these attacks that occur in their territory and are “systematically forgotten.”. In the “hypocrisy”, the prime minister proposed “truth ” to tackle the problem of racism and ” firmness” in prosecuting the culprits.
