Statement by Governor Murphy on the Death of New Jersey Native Amer Mohammed Saada Rabee in the West Bank
“I am saddened by the death of Amer Mohammed Saada Rabee, who was killed in the West Bank on Sunday.
“Amer was a U.S. citizen and New Jersey native who grew up in Saddle Brook. As the circumstances of his death remain unclear, I am asking for answers from the Israeli government as to why Amer—who was just 14 years old—was killed.
“This tragic loss of life underscores that the current course of conflict is continuing to take too great of a toll on too many people. Tammy and I are praying for Amer’s parents, Mohammed and Majed, and his four siblings, as they face this horrific loss.”
