Cllr Jane Scullion, Leader of Calderdale Council said:
“I am deeply saddened by the horrific scenes of violence we have seen in Israel and Gaza. Terrorism is never the answer and must be condemned.
“My thoughts are with all those who are suffering, and with connected communities around the world.
“In Calderdale we are proud of the shared understanding, kindness and respect between our diverse communities, and we stand together against violence now and always.
“We will be flying the peace flag at Halifax Town Hall, symbolising our hope for peace.”
