The Chief Rabbis of Israel have taken out a front page ad in the Jerusalem Post condemning the recent violence in Israel.

The advert, which condemns violence against both Jews and non-Jews, was also published in Hebrew in Israel’s other major papers.

The move comes after almost a week of unrest following Friday’s killing of a Palestinian child , and the fatal stabbing attack at Jerusalem’s Gay Pride .

The Chief Rabbis use the advert to call for peace and pray “for unity and harmony in our nation”.
