Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
called for "massive immigration" of European Jews to Israel following
the shooting attack outside a Copenhagen synagogue that killed a Danish Jew.
Netanyahu said the government on Sunday will
discuss a $46M plan to encourage Jewish immigration from France, Belgium and
Ukraine.
"This wave of attacks is expected to
continue," Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting. "Jews
deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and
sisters, Israel is your home."
In two attacks over the weekend, one man was
killed and two police officers wounded at a Copenhagen synagogue, while another
man was killed and three police officers wounded in a shooting attack on a cafe
in northern Copenhagen.
Denmark's Jewish Community identified the
victim at the synagogue as 37-year-old Jewish man Dan Uzan, who was guarding a
building during a bar mitzvah when he was shot dead at about 1am local time on
Sunday morning.
