In a statement posted to X Thursday, Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, and founder of Christians United for Israel prayed for “the God of all hope comfort those who mourn as we weep for Yaron and Sarah.”

He offered prayers for “their loved ones,” expressing solidarity “with Israel and the Jewish people against this unmitigated evil.”

“If there is a line to be drawn then draw it around both Christians and Jews for we are one! This terror attack reminds the world that Jew hatred begins with words but it doesn’t end there,” he explained.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends at the Israel Embassy and American Jewish Committee. The terrorists will not win and those who wish to globalize the intifada will be defeated. Know this, the Jewish people and Israel are not alone, not today, not ever!”
