Portuguese government rejects terrorist attacks in Jerusalem and expresses solidarity with Israel

The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs this Wednesday denied the recent terrorist attacks in Jerusalem, which killed one person and injured 18, and which the Israeli authorities classified as a “terrorist attack” carried out by the Palestinians.

“Any and all forms of terrorism deserve strong condemnation. Full solidarity with the Israeli authorities and most sincere condolences to the families. Wishing a speedy recovery to the injured,” the statement posted on the Twitter social network reads.

Portugal categorically rejects the recent terrorist attacks in Jerusalem. Any and all forms of terrorism deserve strong condemnation. Full solidarity with the Israeli authorities and deepest condolences to the family members. We wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

Two explosions near bus stops took place this morning in Jerusalem, killing an Israeli-Canadian teenager and injuring at least 18 others.

Israeli police blamed the Palestinians for the attacks, which took place during heavy traffic.

The attacks come hours after Palestinian soldiers stormed a hospital in the occupied West Bank and took away an Israeli citizen who sought medical attention after a car accident, according to the young man’s father.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has already threatened brutal reprisals against the kidnappers of a young Israeli who was killed, according to his family.

At the same time, in the northern West Bank, 16-year-old Palestinian Ahmed Amjad Shehadeh was killed at night by the Israeli army with a bullet in the heart, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. which spoke of four more wounded, one seriously.

The Israeli army, contacted by AFP, said it carried out an operation in Nablus “to guarantee Israeli civilian access to Joseph’s tomb,” a site revered by Jews and where Joseph, one of the sons of Patriarch Jacob, is considered by Palestinians to be the tomb of a local Muslim religious figure.

During the operation, there were exchanges of fire, with Palestinian groups indicating that they were involved in the clashes.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, a second Palestinian died this evening from wounds sustained in a military operation.

The most recent developments come as former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is negotiating a post-legislative coalition coalition, and his return to power is expected with a more right-wing government than ever.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, an extremist lawmaker who called for the death penalty for Palestinian attackers and was appointed minister with a police portfolio, said the attacks meant Israel needed to take a tougher stance on Palestinian violence.

Without claiming responsibility for the attacks in Jerusalem, the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which is in power in the Gaza Strip, considered the attacks “the price of Israel’s crimes and aggression” against the “Palestinian people.”

Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have escalated in recent months. Since the deadly attacks in Israel, the Israeli army has carried out more than 2,000 attacks in the West Bank since March.

These attacks, and sometimes associated clashes, have claimed the lives of 125 Palestinians, the highest death toll in seven years, according to the UN.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
