Croatia’s consul in Israel and his wife suffered minor injuries during an Iranian missile attack on Tel Aviv between Friday and early Saturday morning, Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman said.

“I am shaken by the news that our consul and his wife were injured in the attack on Tel Aviv. The building they live in was hit,” Grlić Radman posted on X. He confirmed after speaking with them that “their injuries are minor and they are not in any life-threatening condition.”

The foreign minister said the Croatian embassy in Israel is in constant contact with his ministry and that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure staff safety. “We strongly condemn attacks on civilians and diplomatic facilities. We call for immediate de-escalation and restraint,” Grlić Radman added.

In July, Rep. Madeleine Dean supported an amendment to cut off aid to the Jewish state.
The Israeli president released his New Year’s greeting to Jewish communities around the world in eight languages.
“It’s an hour of crisis,” Deborah Lipstadt, former U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, told JNS. “I think it’s a time when you have to try every avenue.”
“For the record, this is false,” the former U.S. secretary of state wrote in response to a social media post about the article.
