Foreign Minister Israel Katz expresses his best wishes for US presidential candidate Donald Trump, following an apparent assassination attempt against the Republican on Sunday, the second in two months.

“Israel is deeply grateful for President Trump’s contributions to the security and prosperity of our nation, and we pray for his health and well-being,” Katz tweets.

“We must strongly condemn any attempts to impose political views through threats and violence — political violence must never undermine the American people’s right to freely and democratically choose their path.”
