The leadership of the Orthodox Union issued the following statement in response to this morning’s events off the coast of Gaza and Israel:

“The Orthodox Union expresses its support for the efforts of the Israeli government and IDF to assure Israel’s security. So long as Gaza is ruled by Hamas, a terrorist group sworn to Israel’s destruction, Israel is entitled to treat it as enemy territory and enforce a blockade against it.”
