(Singapore 10 April 2023) Singapore remains deeply concerned about the escalation of violence in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today.

“We condemn the rocket attacks on Israel as well as separate attacks in Tel Aviv and the Jordan Valley which resulted in civilian casualties. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish those injured a swift recovery,” said the official announcement

The MFA also urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and de-escalate tensions to prevent further loss of lives.

“All parties must respect the sanctity of religious sites such as the Al Aqsa Mosque to enable people to worship safely and in peace, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.”
