Statement on the Terrorist Bombing in Tel
Aviv, Israel
(June 1, 2001)
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.
