In an unusual move, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar have all made official statements on Sunday condemning Saturday’s mass shooting in a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a tweet on Sunday that it “condemns the terrorist attack against the Tree of Life synagogue in #Pitttsburgh, USA, and expresses solidarity with American people.”

The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Ministry also referred to the attack as an act of terrorism by those who hold to a fascist doctrine based on the supremacy and dominance of the white race.

It’s a particularly dangerous form of terrorism because it exists with the society itself and targets any who disagrees with it, the PA said.

PLO Ambassador Husan Zomlot, who heads the PA mission to the United Kingdom tweeted in English.

“This murderous attack is pure evil & must unite Jews, Christians and Muslims for an uncompromising fight against all forms of hatred and racism. My heart goes with the families of the victims and the American people,” Zomlot said.

The Saudi Embassy in Washington tweeted, “The Embassy expresses its sincere condolences to the American people and to families of victims of the violent incident at a synagogue in Pittsburgh today. Houses of worship are meant to provide safe and spiritual refuge. Those who desecrate their sanctity attack all humanity.”
