Berlin's Brandenburg Gate lit up in the colors of the Israeli flag on Monday, in a show of solidarity with the victims of Sunday's Jerusalem truck-ramming attack.
Israel's ambassador to Germany Avraham Nir-Feldklein welcomed the gesture, saying Israel was "moved by the gesture of the Berlin Senate and we are very grateful for the support of the German government and the people [and] for the consoling words of solidarity."
"We all see us faced with the same terror, from Nice over Berlin to Jerusalem, but together we will face evil and we will win," he was quoted in a Facebook post by the Israeli embassy.
"Today, the light of the Brandenburg Gate symbolizes the connection of our hearts," Nir-Feldklein said.
Israeli Prime Mister Benjamin Netanyahu took to Twitter to thank Germany for its show of solidarity.
"The flag of Israel on the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin," Netanyahu wrote. "Thanks, Germany, for standing with us in our common struggle against terrorism."
