Knesset Lit Up In Red, White and Blue to Mark 9/11 and Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Under the direction of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, Israel’s parliament building was illuminated in red, white, and blue to commemorate the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks and to pay tribute to Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was gunned down on Wednesday in Utah.

“Today, 24 years ago, the deadliest terrorist attack took place on the soil of the United States, our closest ally, when four planes carrying passengers were hijacked by Islamist terrorists and crashed in various locations, taking the lives of nearly 3,000 people and changing the skyline of New York,” Ohana declared in a statement.

“Tonight, one of the most prominent voices in the struggle against Islamist terror was murdered, one of the greatest and bravest freedom fighters of our time, Charlie Kirk,” he said.

“In memory of the victims then, and in memory of the victim today, the Knesset is illuminated in the colors of the American flag as a sign of friendship and brotherhood between the two peoples. May God bless the bereaved families and comfort them.”
