We are deeply saddened by the current situation in Israel. We categorically condemn the terrorist attacks on Israel and think of all the innocent victims and lives lost.

On Monday, we were to welcome the Israeli government delegation to the faculty to discuss further expansion of our cooperation. Of course, this meeting will now be postponed.

These events that we are witnessing are most serious from a perspective of humanity. They are a threat to freedom and stability on an international level. The resulting impact on our Israeli students can be very serious - the situation will not only affect them, along with their immediate families, directly, but can also have far reaching consequences that we may not yet be able to imagine.

We will be vigilant to ensure that the faculty environment does not become a site for any attacks on our students. They can count on our full support and assistance and know that they can contact us with anything.
