Malta has strongly condemned the latest attack of violence and unnecessary deaths, injuries and sufferings at a Jerusalem synagogue yesterday.

In a statement, the government said that while reiterating its total condemnation for all events of violence, Malta callrf on all sides to realise that the only way towards peace was through dialogue and reconciliation.

"Malta calls on all sides to do everything possible to avoid further violent escalation. Violence will only beget more violence, hatred and recrimination."

It called on all parties to refrain from further inflammatory statements and actions adding that such attacks would never resolve issues that were best addressed around a negotiating table.
