The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest terms the shooting crime against the three Palestinian students.
The Ministry called on the American authorities to quickly arrest the criminal, investigate him, hold him accountable, and inform them of the results of the investigations, wishing a speedy recovery for the students.
On October 16, a Palestinian child and his mother were stabbed in the town of Plainfield, Illinois, by a 71-year-old man, who killed the child and seriously injured the mother.
The police accused the man of committing a hate crime against the child, 6, and his mother, 32, saying that the two victims were targeted because of their Islamic faith.
