Bulgaria has condemned the rocket fire against Jerusalem, a joint statement of the interim Foreign Minister Svetlan Stoev and former FM Ekaterina Zaharieva said.

"The joint statement shows the line of continuity in foreign policy not only on this specific issue, but also on other priorities in foreign policy," the new minister pointed out.

"We strongly condemn the ongoing rocket attacks and attacks on the civilian population, which are absolutely unacceptable. The provocative rocket fire from Gaza terrorizes the Israeli and Arab population in and around Jerusalem and must be stopped immediately. Violence and terror are not the answer," the statement read.
