At least seven people were killed and three were injured in a shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem on Friday night, according to Israeli police. The alleged shooter was killed by police forces, and the Palestinian Authority has since decided to halt security coordination with Israel. Leaders around the world, including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, have condemned the attack and called for an immediate end to the violence, urging both sides to take steps to de-escalate the situation and to work towards a peaceful resolution.
