Marking three years since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the Palace of the Republic was illuminated in remembrance of the victims and as a sign of solidarity with the Israeli people.
“From the very first day, Republika Srpska has maintained a clear and unchanged position that an attack on civilians is an act of terrorism and that every state has the right to defend its citizens. We stood with Israel on October 7, 2023, throughout the years that followed, and we stand with Israel today,” the Office of the President of Republika Srpska said in a statement.
The statement emphasized that Serbs and Jews are connected by historical experiences of suffering, as well as by a friendship built on mutual understanding and respect.
“Both peoples understand the importance of the right to remembrance, the right to truth about their own suffering, and the responsibility to preserve peace,” the statement said.
President Milorad Dodik also said that Republika Srpska stands with Israel.
“We remember the victims of the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7, 2023, and we stand with Israel and the Jewish people. Republika Srpska and the Serb people remain by the side of our friends, in solidarity and in support of their right to defend their citizens,” Dodik wrote in a post on X.
