WHITE HOUSE: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR TERRORISM, WE APPLAUD ISRAEL:

 The White House on Saturday 15 July 2017, condemned the previous day's terror attack in Jerusalem's Old City and praised Israel's decision to close the Temple Mount to Muslims. "Yesterday, the Holy City of Jerusalem became a scene of terror," the statement said. "The people of the United States are heartbroken that terrorists brutally gunned down two Israeli police officers, and we extend our prayers and sympathies to the families of the victims. There must be zero tolerance for terrorism." Following the attack, Israel closed the Temple Mount to allow security forces to search the area for weapons and additional terrorists. Later, Israel also closed the Old City to Muslims who do not live there. The Temple Mount area was reopened Sundayafternoon 16 July 2017. Last week’s attack came a month after border police officer Hadas Malka, 23, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist next to Jerusalem's Damascus gate. (INN) Pray according to scripture for all those who have lost loved ones in recent terrorist attacks: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Ps 34:18
