Rep. Rice reacts to Borochov incident

Posted

South Shore Rep. Kathleen Rice issued the following statement:

“Last week, I was horrified to learn that a young man from our district, Eli Borochov, was shot in the leg by a sniper while visiting the West Bank city of Hebron with his father. Thankfully, Eli survived the attack and has returned home to Cedarhurst.

“I’ve reached out to the Borochovs and I hope to speak with them soon to tell them how grateful I am that their son is safe and to offer my complete support as he recovers from this attack.

 “This act of violence committed against a resident of our district reminds us of the inextricable bond we share with the State of Israel and the Israeli people. It is more important than ever that we keep working to strengthen that bond and keep speaking out against terrorism, those who support it, and those who refuse to condemn it.

“The Israeli people deserve freedom from this constant fear. They deserve peace, and we must never waiver in our commitment to help achieve it.”
