Reuven RivlinIn a meeting Tuesday with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin condemned the recent wave of terror attacks against Israelis during Ramadan.
The month-long Ramadan holiday, which began on the evening of June 17, sees a general uptick in violence and terror related incidents across Israel. Most attacks occur in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.
“This month of Ramadan is turning into a month of terror before our very eyes,” Rivlin said, vowing that Israel will continue to combat terrorism. “Terror is terror is terror, wherever it strikes in the land of Israel, and across the world.”
The president angrily called out Palestinian leadership for caving into Hamas and not condemning each terror attack since the start of Ramadan. “The silence is louder than ever,” he stated. 
Addressing Gentiloni, Rivlin said, “We have no war with Islam, and Islam should have no war with us,” adding that terrorism must be stopped.
