Rabbi father of murdered British-Israeli sisters: We’ve felt a warm hug of love from Jewish worldwide appeared on www.jewishnews.co.uk by JewishNewsUK.

The rabbi father of two British-Israeli sisters killed in a gun attack in the West Bank has said he is “confident that justice will be done”.

Rina and Maia Dee were shot dead in an attack on their car near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank on Friday.

The attack, by Palestinian terrorists, came after Israel launched retaliatory air strikes at Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Tensions have been heightened by days of fighting at Jerusalem’s most holy site during the rare convergence of Ramadan, Passover and Easter.

In a statement released by the girl’s father, Rabbi Leo Dee, to the Telegraph, he said that the family was “saddened” by the current political situation in Israel”.

“Some people think that a religious government will suppress minority rights and become totalitarian,” he said.

“But this is not a risk in Israel as religious Jewish simply believe in balancing love and justice. For our part, we have felt a warm hug of love from Jewish in Israel and beyond and we are confident that justice will be done.”

Rabbi Dee was formerly the senior rabbi at Radlett United Synagogue and assistant rabbi in Hendon. The sisters were born in London, before the family moved to Israel in 2014.

The family lived in the Efrat settlement, near the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, according to the settlement’s mayor Oded Revivi.

The sisters’ 45-year-old mother was seriously wounded in the attack.

Their father witnessed the incident from a separate car following behind, local officials said.

Late on Friday, an Italian tourist was killed and five other Italian and British citizens were wounded when a car rammed a group in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.

Reacting to the news of the sisters’ death, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “On behalf of all the citizens of Israel, I send my condolences to the family for the murder of the two wonderful sisters.

“In these moments, if the family is fighting for its life, and together with the entire nation of Israel, I pray for its safety, and we all send our condolences and strength to this dear family in this moment of great sorrow.”

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly held a call on Saturday with his Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen, to discuss the “appalling” attacks.

Middle East minister Lord Ahmad said: “I condemn yesterday’s attacks in the West Bank, killing two British-Israeli nationals and injuring one other, and in Tel Aviv where an Italian national was killed and British nationals were injured.”

British Ambassador to Israel Neil Wigan added: “My thoughts are with those affected by another horrific terror attack last night in Tel Aviv, including one Italian tourist killed.

British people are amongst the injured. We are in touch with the hospital and will offer our support.”

The Hamas terror group that rules Gaza praised both incidents as retaliation for Israeli raids earlier this week on the Al-Aqsa mosque.

The Foreign Office released a statement saying it was “saddened” to hear about the deaths of the two British-Israelis and the “serious injuries sustained by a third individual”.

“The UK calls for all parties across the region to de-escalate tensions,” it added.

Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy said: “I am shocked by reports of the killing of two British sisters in an appalling and cowardly attack in the West Bank.

“My thoughts are with their family and loved ones. More civilian victims of this cycle of violence show the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate.”

The Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon came after militants fired nearly three dozen rockets from there.
