Statement by Governor Andrew Cuomo
"I am deeply saddened by the heinous attacks against Israeli police officers earlier today in Jerusalem, resulting
in the death of two members of the Merhav David unit.
"In March, I traveled with Consul General
Dani Dayan and members of my administration, including the New York
State Police, on an Economic Development and Unity trip to Israel.
During that trip, we received a security briefing from the commanders
of the Merhav David unit and learned about the challenges they face
protecting Holy Sites in the Old City.
"In times of crisis, friends stand shoulder to shoulder.
"Today I express my deep condolences to the
members of this unit as they mourn the loss of two of their own and to
the people of Israel as they come together after this attack."
