Following the killing by the U.S. of Iran’s Qods Force commander, Qassem Soleimani, Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted that “Soleimani initiated, planned and carried out many terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East and beyond. President Trump is deserving of all esteem for taking determined, strong and quick action”. “Israel fully stands alongside the U.S. in the just struggle for security, peace and self-defence”, Netanyahu added.
