An Israeli flag was hung on the front of the Paris Municipality on Tuesday in a symbolic act of solidarity with the wounded and killed victims of Sunday’s vehicular attack in Jerusalem.
The act follows the examples set by Germany, in which the colours of the Israeli flag illuminated the Brandenburg Gate Berlin on Monday evening, and by the Netherlands, which on Tuesday flew the Israeli flag atop the Rotterdam city hall building.
The Israeli Ambassador to France, Aliza Ben-Nun commented on the occurrence, saying “we are happy that the Paris Municipality has shown an act of solidarity with Israel in relation to the abhorrent act of terror that took place in Jerusalem. We are part of the fight of the global war on terror.”
