Statement by the President
Terrorist Bombing in Tel Aviv
I condemn in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist attack in Tel
Aviv this Sabbath evening. There is no justification for
senseless attacks against innocent civilians. This
illustrates the urgent need for an immediate, unconditional cessation
of violence. I call upon Chairman Arafat to condemn this act
and to call for an immediate cease fire. My deepest
condolences and those of the American people go out to the victims and
their families.
