Tunisian President Kais Saied vows to ensure the security of Jewish citizens and their synagogues. On Tuesday, a Navy guard killed two Jewish visitors and two policemen at the synagogue on the island of Djerba.

Saeed last week accused what he described as "criminals" of seeking to harm the country's tourism sector. The president met Wednesday with Grand Mufti Sheikh Hisham Ben Mahmoud, Chief Jewish Rabbi Haim Bitan and Christian Archbishop Ilario Antoniazi.
