In light of the wave of terrorist attacks in France, Israeli security officials following a motzei Shabbos briefing announced security will be stepped up for Israeli diplomatic facilities around Europe.

Israeli officials are also improving ties with local security officials in European communities.

Following the recent wave of terrorism in France, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu calls on French Jews to come home to Israel as soon as possible.

Mr. Netanyahu stated in a televised statement “To all the Jews of France, all the Jews of Europe, I would like to say that Israel is not just the place in whose direction you daven, the state of Israel is your home”. He added “Unless the world comes to its senses, terror will continue to strike in other places,” he added via his official Twitter account.
