Governor Phil Murphy

Statement from Governor Murphy on Rising Tensions and Reported Violence Due to the Conflict in the Middle East

10/15/2023

"The last week has been incredibly difficult for many people throughout New Jersey and the world. We mourn for the Israeli and Palestinian victims and families who are suffering unfathomable loss and uncertainty, and condemn all acts of terrorism against innocent civilians. Violence or discrimination against anyone based on their religion, whether it is Judaism, Islam, or anything else, is never justified and runs counter to the principles of equality and tolerance that are the foundation of our state and our country. We pray for continued peace in our state and may New Jersey be a shining example of how diverse communities can live, work and pray together."
