In a statement posted to X Sunday, Pastor Jentezen Franklin of Free Chapel in Gainesville, Georgia, lamented that "Jewish brothers and sisters are once again dealing with a horrific, senseless attack."

Franklin, who serves as an advisory board member on President Donald Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, contends that violence "cannot become normal in America or anywhere else."

"Our nation must be united in condemning it," Franklin said. "Everytime those filled with hate unleash an antisemitic attack, please join me in blessing the Jewish people even further. We must counter this wickedness with goodness. The Jewish people need us to speak loudly. Now!"
