(14:50) US to Israelis: 'We will not forget your friendship'

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer made the following statement - first in English and then in Hebrew - in Jerusalem this afternoon:

"On behalf of the United States Government and the American people, I want to thank the people and the government of Israel for their generous expressions of sympathy and solidarity. The United States experienced horrific events yesterday. It was good and important to hear from our friends.

"We are deeply moved by Israel's response. The Government of Israel has declared a national day of mourning. The Israeli public is donating blood. The embassy is receiving numerous calls of condolence and solidarity. We appreciate the offers of assistance. Words cannot fully convey our appreciation. We will not forget your friendship.

"The United States embassy in Tel Aviv is operating today at a reduced capacity. We have no specific information regarding threats to American citizens or interests in Israel, but prudence dictates that we heighten our security posture. We thank Israeli authorities for their assistance in
this regard.

"President Bush has spoken about our government's response to this heinous crime. America and our friends join with all those who want peace and security. We stand together to win the war against terrorism. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. We will go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

"May God bless all the families and friends touched by yesterday's tragedy."
