'Heinous act of violence'
Kanaan said,
“This heinous act of violence serves as a stark reminder that intolerance and hatred can manifest in the most unexpected and brutal ways. We raise a red flag, calling on all community and cultural leaders in the city to condemn this violence unequivocally,”

“Berlin must not become a place where violence and hate are deemed acceptable tools.
The pain of the Palestinian people is not an excuse for violence and we in Kanaan vehemently condemn all forms of attack.”
