Premier: Jews killed in Paris attack to be buried in Israel
JERUSALEM (AP) — The bodies of four French Jews killed in a hostage standoff in a Paris grocery store will be buried in Israel, Israel's prime minister said Sunday.
In a statement issued from Paris, Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he had "acceded to the request of the families of the victims of the murderous terror attack" and directed "all the relevant government bodies" to assist in bringing the bodies to Israel. A funeral is tentatively set for Tuesday.
The Jews were killed in the hostage standoff at the kosher supermarket in Paris. They were among 17 people killed in a wave of terror attacks carried out over three days last week by militants claiming allegiance to the Islamic State extremist group and al-Qaida.
Netanyahu is in Paris with more than 40 world leaders to attend a massive rally to honor victims of the attacks.
